Duct Tape wallets are cool, thin and light, and personalizable. The instructions below describe my design, which I think is elegant, and you can modify to your heart’s content.<\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/b><\/p>\n

Measure out the length of the two longest strips of duct tape:<\/p>\n

Line four bills up, just touching along their long edges. Rip two
\nsmall strips of duct tape to measure an additional width to the left
\nand right of the four bills, or use credit cards, as shown below.<\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/b><\/p>\n

Measure out one strips of duct tape this length and lay it sticky-side-up.
\nThen measure a second strip and lay it stick-side-up with just
\nenough overlap to form a secure connection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3.<\/b><\/p>\n

Fold the strips into the basic wallet frame, by first folding them
\nin half, with the sticky-side out. Then continue folding in an
\naccordian fashion, only allowing the faces with the same letter
\nshown below to stick together. Make sure that these adhering faces
\nare smooth an even.<\/p>\n

Step 4.<\/b><\/p>\n

Measure out a length of duct tape a little larger than twice the
\nwidth of the wallet and wrap it around the outside, with the
\nsticky-side covering the remaining stick-side of the wallet frame.<\/p>\n
