I’m 10 years old and here are my instructions for a duct tape wallet. \u00a0My dad took the photos and he also put it on his web site since I don’t have one yet.<\/p>\n

First get a dollar bill to use for reference. \u00a0Then cut a piece of duct tape an inch or more longer than the bill.<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Place it face up so it doesn’t stick to the table.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You will need two of these.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now put the two pieces together lengthwise so one overlaps the other a little bit.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Repeat so that you have two sheets.<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now carefully put their sticky sides together.<\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It doesn’t have to be perfect, but try to get them pretty close to even. \u00a0Also try to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles.<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now do all of that again because you will actually need two of these.<\/p>\n

\"8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now cut off both ends to make a nice rectangle.<\/p>\n

\"9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are\u00a0now the front and back walls of your duct tape wallet.<\/p>\n

\"10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A fit check should show that the dollar bill fits inside.<\/p>\n

\"11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now cut another strip of duct tape that is longer than the dollar bill and then cut that strip long ways down the middle to make a thin long strip of duct tape. \u00a0Having three hands definitely helps here. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Attach one strip along the bottom long edge of one of the wall pieces so that half is attached and half is still showing.<\/p>\n

\"13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now carefully lay the other wall piece directly on top.<\/p>\n

\"14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now roll the long strip over to attach the two wall pieces together. \u00a0This long thin strip is now the bottom of your wallet.<\/p>\n

\"15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We don’t want any sticky duct tape inside there to stick to\u00a0our dollar bills, so take the other half of the long thin strip and place it over the first half.<\/p>\n

\"16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now use another thin strip of duct tape that has been cut long ways in half to seal up one side of your duct tape wallet.<\/p>\n

\"17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do this on both sides.<\/p>\n

\"18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the top edges need to be sealed off with a couple more of those thin half strips of duct tape. \u00a0Just cut them off a bit short of the edge and tuck them inside.<\/p>\n

\"19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s it! \u00a0Pretty easy, huh?!?!<\/p>\n

\"20\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for reading my duct tape wallet instructions!<\/p>\n
