how to make a tetra-pak wallet |
| You will need... Tetra-pak, sharp scissors, soapy water, tea-towel, stapler and an elastic band. |
 |
|
| 1. |
When you have finished the contents of your tetra-pak, fill it with soapy water and give it shake, then rinse it out. |
| 2. |
 |
Top-and-tail your tetra-pak using sharp scissors (be careful!) Now you can see inside check it's clean, and if not, give it a wipe and a dry with a tea towel. |
| 3. |
Flatten your tetra-pak, on a hard surface, creasing the long sides. |
| 4. |
 |
Un-flatten your tetra-pak and push the two long sides inwards, then flatten it again. |
| 5. |
Now fold the bottom three inches of your tetra-pak upwards, and crease it firmly on a hard surface. |
 |
| 6. |
The remaining top part of your tetra-pak will form the front flap of the wallet. On this section cut away the front, and the sides of the tetra, leaving a single piece of card. |
| 7. |
|
Your tetra-pak should now roughly resemble a wallet! Next staple the inner pieces of card from the two compartments together. |
| 8. |
The front flap can be cut into any shape you wish. It can have rounded corners or zig-zag edges - whatever you feel like having! So trim appropriately and then cut a small hole in the centre of the flap. |
 |
| 9. |
Fold the front flap down over the wallet and again crease well. |
10.
|
 |
Get your elastic band, poke one end through thehole so that you can see a small loop. Then thread the other end of the elastic band through the loop and pull tight. You should now have a larger loop of elastic band which is secured onto the front flap. this can be stretched over the body of the wallet to hold it shut. |
