Following my recent decision to stop buying products made from dead animals, I decided to replace my old leather wallet. After walking around the city for a bit looking for a replacement I hadn’t found any nice non-leather wallets, so I decided to make my own! I had read of people making their own wallets out of gaffer tape (duct tape in the US) and after having a poke through google found about 4 different guides. I used this one.
Here’s a couple of photos showing the finished item:
It took me about an hour or so to make, and it’s a bit rough. This was my first attempt at some gaffertape craft, obviously with more practice the result would be better and take less time to make. The cool thing is once you understand how it fits together it’s easy to make modifications and add different colours (providing you have the tape).
In any case I’ve decided to use it over my old leather wallet. Gaffer tape > dead animal guilt.
That looks awesome! I think the best thing about it would be, if there’s a hole it in, you can just tape it right up and it won’t look weird! You should see Auto’s wallet, falling apart so badly. I’m going to link this to him next time I see him online.
