Today Instrutables show us a very suprising design with only some cutting, some foldingand 2-4 stitches and you’ll have a virtually indestructable wallet. This tri-fold wallet is light weight and thin, can take up to 12 credit cards and even got a change compartment.

Materials:

Shopping bag
needle and thread
piece of double sided tape

Step 1The cutting

Cut out the shape of your wallet according to mentioned measures. For design purposes note that the left and right quarter of the shape will be the inner lining of your wallet, so the middle part of the shape will be the viewable part of your wallet.

Step 2The folding

Make a first fold in the middle. Make sure to make a good sharp crease by using a hard blunt object.

Open after folding and now fold the upper quarter and bottom quarter to the inside towards the middle crease. After doing that close the first fold again. Make sure you make good creases.

Step 3The Tucking

Tuck in the first little flap and put it over all the other layers that are inside. Afterwards tuck in the remaining little flap as well so the little flaps are both inside.

Step 4The Stitching

Now you are left with a nice rectangular shape. Go to the side where the little flaps were and make a fold of 4 cm/ 1.5 inch. Again make an nice crease. The folded part will be you’re credit card compartment on the inside of your wallet.
