How to Make a Duct Tape Wallet

 

There are actually quite a few projects you can make from duct tape, today I’ll show you how to make a simple wallet. Duct tape is silver and available at Wal Mart, hardware stores and home supply stores. There’s also something called Duck Tape, which is a brand of tape that comes in a variety of fun colors, available from craft supply stores. We actually used a combination of duct tape and Duck tape for our duct tape wallet. This would make an ideal Father’s Day gift!

What’s really fun about this particular tutorial, is that this wallet was constructed in its entirety by an 11 year old girl. She learned how to make these by following a You Tube video she found. In fact, SHE showed ME how to make it, I just happened to have my camera handy!

This project is now available in the Kindle library or via ebook download (see below).

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletThe two kids pictured here are Dominic, my 11 year old son, and Cailin, our neighbor, and Dominic’s friend since preschool. Cailin has made several wallets, this one is a fairly basic bi-fold with a money pocket and four credit card pockets. She made a tri-fold one for her dad that has six credit card pockets and an ID slot. Way to go Cailin and thanks for your hand in this tutorial. :)

UPDATE: This post was first published in April of 2010. Cailin and Dominic are now in high school, and Cailin in still making wallets. In fact, the photo above is Cailin modeling for my book, Duct Tape Mania, which has over 40 duct tape projects! The photo below is a shot of a few of her cool wallets, one of which you’ll see in my book!

Thanks again to Cailin for her help with this post.

Duct Tape Wallet
You will need

Duct tape of Duck tape, any colors
scissors
gift card or credit card to help measure

What you do 

Cut 4 pieces of tape, about 10″ long, and lay them on the work surface, sticky side up.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletConnect them all together by sticking the top of the second one, to the bottom of the first one, then connect the third to the second and the fourth to the third.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletCut another piece, the same length, and press it sticky side to sticky side, against the bottom strip of tape.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletContinue with 3 more strips until you have a solid sheet made of tape. Use scissors to trim the ends.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletFold the sheet in half to resemble a wallet shape.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletFold it in half the other way to create a bi-fold wallet. If it’s too large for your liking, you can trim more off the ends now. Don’t trim too much, you will need room for credit card slots.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletCut a long strip of tape, about 18 inches long, and place it, sticky side up, on the work surface.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletCut another piece, the same length as the first, and tape it, sticky side down, onto the other piece (sticky to sticky).

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletCut another 18″ length and tear it in half lengthwise. Set aside one half and use the other half to create a smooth top seam on your long strip of tape.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletUse the second half strip to do the other side. Trim the ends.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletUsing a credit card or gift card as a measuring guide, Cut the length of tape into “credit card pockets”, leaving about 1/4″ on each side of the card.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletSet the card aside and use the first one that you cut to use as a guide and cut three more, for a total of four.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletCut a piece of tape a little bit longer than the length of your wallet. Tear the strip in half and create smooth seams on both sides by taping one side, then flipping it over and folding the tape over to the other side.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletWith the tape sheet folded in half like a wallet, place the four credit card pockets in place.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletCut a piece of tape about 4″ long and tear it in half lengthwise. Press the tape up the center, covering the pockets. Fold the end of the tape over only one layer, you don’t want to tape your money pocket shut! Tuck it inside the wallet.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletUse similar sized pieces to cover the outer edges of the pockets, folding over to secure.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletUse scissors to trim the ends.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletPut a strip of tape across the bottom to secure the pockets.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletImportant: You will want to make sure that the back part of the wallet is slightly higher than the front so that when it is folded shut, it will look right.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletMake sure you have taped all your edges. If necessary, use scissors to snip any closed tape at the edges of the paper-money pocket.

How to Make a Duct Tape WalletThat’s it! You just made a wallet completely out of duct tape (or Duck tape, whichever you chose to use)!

    Great tutorial. I’ve already made a duct tape flower, and now I’m adding this wallet to the list! Do you think you could have a tutorial on the duct tape wallet with 4 areas for cards, money, and an ID card? Thanks!

    I’ve seen skirts made from duct tape too. The key to getting them on and off is velcro. Velcro works great with duct tape. I remember another cool idea where someone mage a jacket out of aluminum can tabs. Youtube has all the good videos on how to make things.

    On the step, Cut a piece of tape a little bit longer than the length of your wallet. Tear the strip in half. Which way do I tear, lengthwise or heightwise?

    Duct tape wallets are so cool, my daughter has made a small fortune making and selling them to friends at school. She has begged me to do a post, so you are motivation to do one! She also makes purses and bookbags, even made a cute vest. She is really into it, and we are going broke on duct tape!!
