Recycle an old carton into a very Handy wallet. Waterproof , lasts for at least a year and the aluminium layer will keep your RFID secrets inside.

What you need:
• Drink carton (contents at least 1,5 L)
• Big thirst
• Scissors
• PVC tape
• Adhesive Velcro

Pick Your Carton

Go to the supermarket or local delicatessen to find an interesting drink carton. It’s the packaging, not the contents that should make you want to buy it.
