duct tape wallet (pic heavy)

[Loenja]

not very bushy, but i though its quite crafty so here goes.
i recently found that my old wallet doesnt fit all my cards so i decided i needed a new one, at first i thought id try a leather one, but that would mean going out and spending extra money on leather and anyway everyone has leather wallets.

i remembered my mate had once had a wallet made from duct tap, he had spent £15 or so on this wallet. at once i thought i could make one so here are some pics.

i used three cards and a £20 note as a template and

sorry about the low quality pics.

the wallet works a charm
and only took a few minutes to make

Is it sewn as well as stuck down?
Got me thinking as most are made for Euro's which are smaller so your notes get scuffy (not that I have them long enough of course)

looking good but the only down side i can see is ,when its in your back pocket and getting a bit warm from sitting on it -won,t the tape start slipping around a bit ???

its not sewn its all stuck to itself and i havnt tested its slipperyness yet as its only been in my pocket for about 1 hour, it hot off the work surface. and anyway i havnt heard any one else complaining about it slipping.

I made one of these it lasted pretty well probably about 6 months before it got tatty. I didn't have any problems with it coming unstuck due to heat either.

Unfortunately I made it too small to fit £20 notes in, which wasn't a problem at the time as i didn't have many of those!

I Have made a small duct tape envelope in which I keep my emergency tinder. Totally waterproof with a stick down flap and the correct size. Does what it says on the packet.
