Fun for the kids - Duct tape wallet {{tutorial}}

My kids have really been wanting to make a 

Duct Tape Wallet

this summer! 

So we went to Walmart and bought some fun duct tape colors and went to town!

Start with at least one roll of tape...more if you want it to be multi colored!

STEP ONE : tear 4 strips about 7-8 inches long

 STEP TWO : sticky side up...slightly over lap the four pieces

Step Three : Repeat step ONE and lay the four pieces on top of the four you already have overlapped

this will create a the main body of the wallet.

 STEP FOUR : trim off the sides of the tape piece leaving it nice and clean and free of "sticky" it should be about 7-8 inches long total

STEP FIVE : cut another strip about the lenght of your "wallet" maybe a little longer

If you want to use an antoher color to add contrast you can

tear this strip in HALF length wise

put it on each side of the "wallet" halfway and fold the other half over leaving a clean edge now

 trim the excess off the sides

 

STEP SIX : *optional* if you want pockets in your wallet now is the time 

Cut THREE pieces about 14 inches long each

 {if you are not doing pockets - skip to step EIGHT}

 lay TWO of the pieces on top of each other

{this will make the pockets}

take the third and cut it in half length wise

use it to make a clean edge on the top of the "pockets"

STEP SEVEN : cut that double sided piece of tape into FOUR equal pieces

STEP EIGHT : using the other half of your length wise piece...tear it up to seal off the edges of your "pockets" - middle, bottom and sides
*if you did not make pockets - just cut another strip of tape and seal off the two sides to close your "wallet" and make the slot for the money*

AND NOW YOUR DONE! 

You have just made a 
duct tape wallet!
