Crafting with Duct Tape

How to make a duct tape wallet

Directions

Step 1

Make a duct tape sheet that is 7 inches long by four strips wide:
·         Cut a strip of duct tape that measures 7 inches and lay it sticky side up on your work surface.
·         Roll out and cut another strip of duct tape to the same length.
·         Place the second 7-inch strip sticky side up so it slightly overlaps the edge of the first strip.
·         Repeat until you have four strips overlapping.
·         Turn the sheet so the strips run vertically.
·         Cut a strip to lay across the sticky-side-up strips. Start at the top and work your way down. These strips get placed sticky side down. Add another strip below the last one. Remember to overlap the edges.
·         Continue laying strips sticky side down until all of the sticky sides of the “bottom” strips are covered.
·         Trim off edges.

Step 2

Fold the sheet in half so you have a rectangle.

Step 3

Use a piece of tape about 4 inches long to seal the edge on one of the short sides of the rectangle. Trim off the extra tape.

Step 4

Fold the wallet in half so the short sides line up. Note: Do this before taping the other side so that the wallet will fold without bulges.

Step 5

Keep the wallet in the folded position, trim any excess, and tape the other side.
