A Wallet Project

(Warning: Too many color green *wink*)

I have always been trying to maintain an organized wallet, but I always fail. As most of us can relate, when you are at the counter, there are many things going on. Looking for cards, taking out cash & coins, getting the gift card back, getting the change, getting the receipt + making sure you do it quickly or else the one next in line will be raising brows at you. 

Result? A bulky and disorganized wallet.

I was relieved by this particular video. I really find this helpful so I want to share this with you.

I particularly want to thank my sister for introducing to me this YouTube channel, Alejandra TV. :)




I was inspired so I gave it a try. I went to a local bookstore, bought a business card organizer with a detachable cover:


The thing was, I don't like the color black. But since there was no other available color and in my desperate attempt to organize, I still bought it, thinking to give my eyes a try. Unfortunately, black still didn't work to my taste. 

Tada! I remembered having watched a video on how to make a Bible cover and I thought of doing the same to my wallet




I tried to work on a wallet cover (without a flap) from supplies that I already have:


I didn't have craft duct tape so I used a simple clear tape and covered/laminated the whole thing. Then I slid the cards into the sleeves according to frequency of use:


For security purposes, I covered some card info w/  'butterflies'. ;)
So now, I am ready to go.


One thing I like about the wallet cover since it is detachable, I can change it from time to time ~ when it's already worn or torn, or if I happen to spot a craft paper that I really like. ;)

That's it for today. I am beginning to like what I see. :)

* Today is 06 January 2015. I don't feel sleepy yet so I made another wallet cover:



I don't know how many covers I will be making out of sleeplessness. I am just having so much fun. :)
