Cash Note Wallet

Keep your money safe with a cute little cash note wallet that will fit in your pocket perfectly.

Add to Favorites Add Your Version

Print out a picture that's slightly bigger that your cash notes. I photocopied a 20 pound note, scaled it bigger and then printed it out, but you can use any picture you like.
Cut out two rectangles of clear vinyl that are slightly bigger than your picture
Cut out another rectangle that is wider, but shorter than the other rectangles. Cut out another rectangle that is half the width of the first and much shorter. Pin the short rectangle to the bottom on the right hand side of the bigger rectangle.
Sew down the middle side of the short rectangle.
Place the picture in between the two larger rectangles and then pin the smaller rectangles on top.
Sew right around the area of the photo so that all the rectangles are secured together.
Cut off the excess vinyl and then it's ready to fill with money.

Lucky gal! Your money in the UK is way prettier than ours over here in the States! Great project. :)

Hey there, I found your site whilst having a rake about on etsy, so I thought I'd come have a nosey, particularly since you're in Dundee, I was at uni there too, taking a wee break at the mo! Anyway, I've totally deviated from the point of this comment, just wanted to say I like your little wallet - I make similar ones myself :) I've totally forgotten what else I wanted to say. Oh well! Take it easy :)

Brilliant idea!
What size needle did you have to use to sew through the vinyl?

Hmm, it was just my standard machine needle - I'll check later.

I think this is a great idea.
But you should be very careful, copying money is often considered ILLEGAL conterfiting even if the copy is bad and you dont intend to try an pass the copy off as real.
(this is why those 'money noveltys' - tee towels and so on - have "SPECIMEN" printed on them in large letters !

In Denmark even a bad copy (for example only one side of the note) can get you up to 4 years in jail !
Young crafters are occasionaly in trouble with this.
The Danish slogan "money is something you must be able to trust" is actualy sensible.
If you are making this wallet I would sugest 2 possiblitys Either use real money !!! (though that may be considered defacing in some legislations)
I have seen a wallet folded out of 20 X 1$ bills which could even be dismateled when money is short :-)
Or use money from another country which is not legal in you own country, here you could may be use real money which is larger than you own countrys money.
I am not a expert on law so cannot garantee that this is 'water tight' but Please be careful, it would be a shame if a great idea got you in hot water.

Interesting point from Peter: "copying money is often considered ILLEGAL conterfiting even if the copy is bad and you dont intend to try an pass the copy off as real."
Dont want to get in trouble for creating, do we?

I was actually just going to say I have a clear vinyl wallet myself! I bought it in a cute local artist store in Seattle, WA. It was really well made, and has lasted!
You can use any picture you desire! That might be the best part about vinyl wallets. Thanks for the design, now I can make myself a new one!
