UP CYCLE: Making a Wallet from a Hamburger Wrapper

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A couple of months ago I made myself a quick leather wallet. I think it turned out pretty nice so I thought I’d make another one. This time I’ll show you how to make one too!
The design is pretty simple and could be adapted to lots of other materials.

    I made a very similar wallet myself based on your design. It's been an amazing wallet for personal use, I added in an extra flap for a windowed ID slot and I made the card slot shorter on the 4 1/2" side so it was more of a cover than a full slot because I had some trouble making mine easily accessible. All in all a great piece you designed, thanks for the video!

    Out of curiosity, who downvotes videos like these? This is very good. Last week, I bought paracord to make myself a bracelet because I wasn't happy with the bracelets I've been seeing, so I learned to make one myself. And I did and it's better than the paracord bracelets I've been searching for at camping stores, amazing and sport stores. Now I'm looking for a minimalist wallet that fits my criteria. I can't find one. I have to make one. Thanks. This will be my next project. Can you answer me one thing though: how much money is a project like this? On paracord I spent $20 (100ft 550 and 32ft 325 for trial and error before perfecting my bracelet...and a lighter). I'm patient when it comes to funding.

    +Bill T You don't have to buy an entire hide (this is a half hide). You can also buy smaller pieces a lot of the time. This half hide cost me $180 but you could just about reupholster my couch with it. Cow hides are shockingly large. I also get a deal at Tandy as a business owner or it would have been about $240. This should give you an idea but also know that I could probably make 100s of wallets out of it. There are also much cheaper hides!
