How to Make an Environmentally Friendly Wallet - step by step instructions

A few days ago, I posted on Facebook and here in our blog the wallet that was made from used Tetra Pak packages.  We have had a lot of interest and questions on how to make them.  Here you find a step by step instruction.   This one was made using a UHT Milk package.  We'd love to see your wallets or any other useful item you make from used carton packages.  

• Take a 1 liter empty Tetra Pak package with a screw top closure.  
• Lift the flaps and flatten the package. 

• Cut off the top and bottom sealed sections of the package.  The package should now form a tube and can be rinsed and dried.

• Flatten the package, this time so the screw top is in the centre of the package.

• Fold the top part 1/3rd of the way down, pressing to make a sharp fold on all edges.

• Cut the side edges from the bottom of the package, 1/3rd of the way up - just far enough to meet where the edge of the top package has been folded down.

• Now that both sides of been cut, fold it up and sharpen the fold by pressing your finger along it.  

• Now take the folded piece and tuck it into the top 1/3rd with the screw top facing out.  This will give your wallet two sections.  The other piece will be used as the front flap of the wallet.

• To make the wallet close, using the screw cap, take off the cap and fold the front flap over the neck to mark where your hole will need to be cut.

• Cut out the hole.  Don't make it too big - it should be just a little snug.

• Trim the edges of the front flap.

•  Fold down and put on the screw cap.  and Voila!!  You have a wallet.
