I've seen many Duct Tape wallets before, but never seen one with a bow, or with a latch, so i decided I should try it!
I dont have pictures for the standard wallet.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • Ruler
  • 1 Duct Tape

Steps (18 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Okay, so many of you know how to make a Duct tape wallet, so I will start from the part where you add the bow, and latch.
    for those of you who do not know how to make one, please use the link provided from the duckbrand website on how to make a duct tape wallet;

  2. 2

    Cut a piece of duct tape about 4 and a half inches long

  3. 3

    fold one edge to about the center of the piece

  4. 4

    repeat step 4 and leave a little tiny bit of sticky tape

  5. 5

    fold back ant forth in an accordion fashion to make the bow

  6. 6

    it should look like this.

  7. 7

    cut a 6.5 inch piece of tape,

  8. 8

    cut it in half, lengthwise.

  9. 9

    fold part way in
    kind of like steps 3 and 4, but leaving more sticky space

  10. 10

    wrap this around the middle of the bow, about 2-3 times
    tightly so it doesnt come apart

  11. 11

    Bring the loose end around in a loop,
    and secure with another small piece of tape

  12. 12

    add another piece of tape to the back of the loop, secure to the front of the wallet, close to the opening side

  13. 13

    cut a piece of tape, about 3-3.5 inches and fold the corners in of only one side
    making a kind of elongated trapezoid
    this will be your latch
    leave a little bit of the sticky part at the end

  14. 14

    reinforce this with a few more layers of tape

  15. 15

    attach the latch to the back side of the wallet.

    cover it with another layer of tape , to make sure the latch doesnt fall off

    if you want to, you can also add one to the other side of the latch, connecting the inside of the wallet to the latch, making it more secure

  16. 16

    this is what the latch should look like after the extra tape is added.

  17. 17

    this is the latch, completed

  18. 18

    you're done!
