Dog-food-bag Wallet
I always make my wallets from crisp-bags, but they wear out in 3 months. Now my dog changed to a new type of dog-food and the bag it came in, looks like the perfect material to make a better wallet out of.
I used a laser-cutter, because, well, I am a laser-cutter addict, but scissors will work fine.
The dimensions are for a stack of 20 credit cards and Euro-bills.
You Will Need
Materials:
- Empty dog-food-bag
Tools:
- Scissors (or laser cutter)
- Sewing machine
The Design
I designed the wallet a lot like the chips-bag wallet, because that design is working for me. I made the whole wallet from one piece.
Both the original Gravit-Design and the PDF-file are included.
Cut the Design
Cut a flat piece from the dog-food-bag and cut the pattern on the lasercutter. (or print the pattern on paper and cut it from the bag with a knife or scissors)
Sow the Tug-ins
Sew the two pieces that will be tug in the wallet with a simple straight stitch, close to the edge.
Sow the Sides
I used a fancy stitch for the sides and a straight one over the dotted line at the bottom.
Sow the Rest
Finish it off bij stitching between the credit card compartment and the bills. Just for show, I also stitched the dotted lines on the flap over the credit cards.
Add Money
Now just fill your wallet with money and plastic, roll it up and put it in your pocket.
Finished
Enjoy your new, cool, recycled wallet.
