Paper craft wallet Part I
I’ve been wanting to get a new wallet lately. My wallet is very…cute…and it’s a little more bulky than I like it to be. I always get lots of coins and I need a bigger coin purse in my wallet, unless I want to get a separate little purse just for that…which I don’t really want to.
So after shopping at many stores and department stores, I found nice ones but there were not perfect enough. Either too old style looking, or had something missing that I needed…had one good thing but a bad thing also…
I’m kind of picky because I want a nice wallet, not just some wallet I can use.
So…I decided I’m going to try to make my own. <: x
This is my mock-up. I have tons of ideas. You know what it’s almost like? It’s like adding on plug-ins to something that works great, but could use a little more.
The front. Not too big. I’ll add a clasp later on. I’m thinking envelope style!
You can see some notes here. The window will be a clear plastic. The sides of the credit card part are going to be large elastic cloth, not regular cloth. That way, the material will expand to the number of credit cards it contains. The base is also removable if I don’t need that many cards a certain night and I want to reduce the bulk.
This is something I’ve always wanted to make for myself. I’ve seen this in a few special wallets, and more recently in the Betsey Johnson wallets. So much space! The closure will be the button and string kind, like those kinds folders. You can see the drawing on the previous picture. Maybe fake button and string (with actual velcro or snap closure), depending how fastened it will stay. I’m going to have to experiment with it, but that detailing is going to be super cute. I haven’t seen it on any wallets (and maybe there is a reason for it @_@).
And the cash.
I’m so poor!
Yeah…I’ll probably keep looking at it…adding a strap here, attachable panel using zipper sounds interesting right? …or…usb thumb drive pocket…
