  Step 1

  For this you will need a tube map (grab one for free from any underground station) and the original Oyster card wallet that it came with to make the template, or you can just wing it.

• 

  Step 2

  Draw around the wallet on to card.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out the card template.

• 

  Step 4

  Trace around the template on to the tube map and on to some paper, which will line your wallet.

• 

  Step 5

  You should end up with two pieces that look like this.

• 

  Step 6

  Stick the map and paper together with spray adhesive.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut two strips of clear vinyl, big enough to cover the wallet and two more strips which are half as wide as the wallet.

• 

  Step 8

  Place the map in between the two sheets of vinyl and place the two smaller squares at either side, these will hold the cards.

• 

  Step 9

  Sew around the outside.

• 

  Step 10

  Cut around the wallet, trimming off any excess vinyl.

• 

  Step 11

  Pop your oyster card in to make sure it fits.

• 

  Step 12

  And your ready to go. Happy travels!

Great idea! By the way, if anyone needs the template, I found a downloadable PDF of one which you can just print out and use.

Oh I would love to make one of these out of the map for the Chicago Metra! I used to live close and used the Metra a lot, so it'd be a cute little memento.

I got an Oyster card wallet free when I bought my card. Vinyl is a clear plastic fabric, you should be able to pick some up in a fabric store!
