DIY Cardboard Wallet with Accordion Pockets
I’ve been obsessed with slim wallets , you know the type that fits in your front pocket, is light weight, and forces you to keep only the essentials ?
Here’s what I came up with :
You will need the following supplies :
and glue, double-sided tape, scissors, etc…
The pattern :
The how to is on youtube :
Notes :
- Score all the dashed lines on the wrong side of the paper, then fold inwards.
- Cut off half of the hair pin ( on the longer side ) to make the pin sit flat. Did that with wire cutters.
- You can use any silicon wristband as a closure .
I also made one where I set the elastic band with a rivet. You’ll have to do that before gluing the flaps for the pocket piece.
Okie Dokie ! This will make a very lightweight wallet for the cost of 2 sheets of paper !
On another note, I’ve upgraded my domain from saltymom.wordpress.com to saltymom.net. I’m not sure if everything is working, so if you see something strange on my blog, please leave me a comment 🙂
