Make a new wallet in 3 easy steps

June 14th, 2011 posted by admin

Wallets, eh? Complex things well out of your reach artistically. WRONG! In fact, you can make your own and here is how you do it:

1) Get hold of some decent thick card. Plaster it in magazines of your choice. Cut it to the size you need. I suggest making it too big to start with, as you can always cut it down.

2) Add lots of PVA glue and leave it to set. You can put on a lot, don’t be afraid of the glue for it is your friend!

3) Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to score the edge down and fold the car in such a way as to create pockets, and then glue these too. It’s really not that difficult to do. If you need to, cut up an old wallet and use that as a template.

4) To make the wallet close-up-able, add velcro along one side. When you’re done you’ll have a brand-new wallet which is as tough, cool looking and resilient as anything you can buy! It really does work. I know so because I have done this myself.

5) Other ideas: feel free to experiment. Girls can put glitter in the glue as it dries, and of course this home-made masterpiece will make the perfect gift for anyone (even my neighbour who was obsessed with banner stands liked the one I gave her. I wonder when she will notice that the magazines I used contain loads of images of violence from horror films? Ah, you have to have fun when possible, right?).
