HOW TO MAKE A DUCT TAPE WALLET
Click here to print this page.

step1Step 1: Make a duct tape swatch of "fabric" that is seven inches long by four strips wide. To do this, simply:

A: Lay a strip of duct tape sticky side up on your work surface and place a second strip sticky side up so it slightly overlaps the edge of the first strip. Repeat until you have four strips of duct tape overlapping

B: Turn the sheet so the sticky-side-up strips run vertically and lay a strip sticky side down over the sheet. Repeat with additional strips of duct tape until the sticky sides are covered. Don't forget to overlap the edges.

C: Trim off edges.

step2 Step 2: Fold the sheet in half so you have a rectangle.

step3 Step 3: Use a piece of tape about 4 inches long to seal the edge on one of the short sides of the rectangle. Trim off the extra tape.

step4 Step 4: Fold the wallet in half so the short sides line up. Note: Do this before taping the other side so that the wallet will fold without bulges.

step5 Step 5: Keep the wallet in the folded position, trim any excess, and tape the other side.

optional Options: Personalize the wallet with initials, favorite colors, or a personal trademark (such as a fish if Dad loves fishing or use Camouflage Duck Tape® for the Dad who’s a hunter).
