today I'm gonna use duct tape to make
our own DIY wallet I'm gonna start by
using this really cool zig zag patterned
tape
duct tape is great you can rip it in
your hands in either direction but when
it's stuck onto something it's
surprisingly strong if you look closely
you can see a sort of crisscross of
fibers running through the tape to start
with I'm taking some non-stick baking
paper and laying it flat on the table
then tear off a strip of tape roughly
thirty centimetres long and stick it to
the paper take another strip of tape
match up the pattern and slightly
overlap it so it sticks to the first
strip repeat this another two times and
you should have something which looks
like this remove it from the greaseproof
paper and turn it over the other way
then we're going to take another four
strips of tape and repeat the process on
the other side once you're done you
should have something which looks like
this next I placed a note on to my new
mat and used some scissors to cut it
roughly the length I wanted my finished
wallet I folded over this excess tape at
the top
and if you wanted to you could use a
guillotine to make your cuts to make
sure they're nice and straight to make
our wallet we're going to be folding it
over and not quite in half like this and
depending on if you've used patterned or
plain tape you might want to use a
different style tape to stick the wallet
together I'm trying out to this flowery
tape to stick together the sides if you
wanted to you could go all the way
around the wallet to make a border I cut
off the excess and there we have a
really simple money pouch but I've got
to be honest I don't really like the
flowery tape it doesn't really go very
well with the zig zag tape so I peeled
it off and tried using a strip of the
zig zag tape to stick it together
instead now it does look better but the
design kind of goes the wrong way
against the pattern so I still wasn't
very happy I peeled it off and you can
see even if I match the tape pattern on
one side once I've overlapped it to the
other side
it doesn't match up so I removed that
too and I decided to use plain paper
instead if you're not using a patterned
tape like this you wouldn't have this
problem
so I stock down each end with the clear
tape then I used a strip of the
patterned tape to reinforce it from
inside
so it's nice and strong and the pattern
isn't broken give it a good fold down
the middle and if you like you can use
it like this it's a pretty funky design
and it slides in and out of your pocket
easily but as well as having a sleeve
for cash I wanted to make a couple of
credit card holders so I took some more
tape slightly longer than the length of
this card and I wrapped it around the
ends like this then stuck it to the
inside and removed the card if you want
to you can do the same on the other side
then take another strip of tape match up
the pattern and line it up with the top
of the pockets press it down and cut off
the excess now you'll find the bottom of
the pocket isn't stuck down yet so take
one more strip of tape this time line it
up with the bottom of the wallet match
up the pattern and stick it down this
extra layer will fix down the bottom of
the pockets and make the wallet stronger
cut off the excess and if you need to
you can fold over the lip at the bottom
and that's our wallet complete we now
have two credit card holders and a cash
envelope pretty cool huh
fill it up and this is how it looks and
it's really secure even with a good
shake and a tap it's really difficult to
make the bits fall out
the cards and the cash fit in securely
and there's so many different patterns
and colors of duct tape you could choose
a completely different style here's when
I made with black tape with a sort of
tartan inlay it looks really smart and
if you wanted to you could also add more
credit card pockets or one for a photo I
