Make a Wallet Out of a Paperback Book

Filed under: DIY — Savvy Housekeeper at 7:41 am on Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Awhile back, my beloved wallet finally fell apart. I started looking around for a new one, but have found none that I particularly care for. The only one that has come close was $70, which is… yikes. Maybe instead, I should make my own wallet for free.

In looking around, I came upon this tutorial from Refabulous, where you make a wallet out of a paperback book. This is right up my alley.

Refabulous says her wallet has lasted 1 1/2 years so far. The design is pretty good looking too.

There are lots of creative possibilities here. For example, here’s a wallet made out of a romance book:

I just may have to try this.

One of the schools here makes wallets out of Capri Sun packages as a fund-raiser. Cut and very durable!

Jenny, I have seen those. It’s a great way to re-use the Capri Sun packages.
