-
Cut a strip of tape 8" long and place it, sticky side up, on your desk.
-
Cut another strip and place it, sticky side down, on top of the first strip.
-
Flip this over, and place another strip underneath the first strip, on top of the second strip.
-
Flip this back over and add another two strips of tape to the top and bottom.
-
Continue this until you have the length you want your wallet to be, about 3". At this point, trim off the excess sticky tape at the top edge of the wallet.
-
Continue down until you have double the height, 6" long. Trim off the excess sticky tape at the bottom.
-
Fold the wallet in half, length ways, so that the wrong side of the wallet is facing out. Apply a strip of tape to either side, to close up the open edges.
-
Fold this inside out, so that the right side is facing out.
-
Using a similar process, create a recentangle the matches the width, but is a little shorter than your wallet.
-
Stick this to the bottom of your wallet to create a card pouch.
-
Make another little rectangle, shorter than the last and half the width.
-
Stick this to the left hand side of your wallet.
-
Your wallet is now ready to store your money and cards.

Nice wallet, but is the yellow one in the pictures made of electrical tape?

No, it's coloured duct tape, I found it in a club. You can use electrical tape for this though.

That wallet is adorable! I'm used to seeing the grey duct tape though. Are you sure that that is duct?

ooh, i forgot to mention, the 99p shop sells packs of 10 rolls of electrical tape in different colours which could make a pretty cool looking wallet :)

The other people mentioning it being electrical tape (also known as 'sparky') are correct, it's not duct tape. Infact, if you found it lying around in a club then it was probably left by someone like me :P
Duct tape (gaffa) is usually wider and is made of plastic covered material, its a lot stronger & stickier. Apparantly you can order it up to 6 feet wide, you could fix anything with that :P
anyway, im rambling a lot, there's some nice things on here :)

I make mine slightly different, but its a good tutorial.
I find it funny that people sell kits and whole duct tape wallets, i calculated how much it cost to make mine by how much length i use each time and it came out at 21 pence per wallet!!! never ever worth buying them ready made.
plus, i decorate them with electrical tape, when i get bored of the design i peel it off and put a different one on :)
