You can use similar steps that you would for making a wallet, but make it so it folds over lengthwise instead of widthwise. If you like, you could even add a braided duct tape loop to one corner to hang the clutch from your wrist.

Duct tape is super versatile. You can make things like bookmarks, picture frames, a beach bag, or even a belt! You can also braid it and make it into jewelry, like bracelets.

Question

Can I make one with clear duct tape?

Community Answer

Yes, as long as the adhesive is strong enough to not peel apart. I wouldn't recommend something like scotch tape, because that can be too flimsy. Clear tape would create a cool look though!

Question

How long does this take to make?

Community Answer

It really depends on how much experience you have working with duct tape. If you have worked with duct tape before, then it should not take that long. It also depends on how much detail/pockets you plan on adding.

2-inch tape makes it easy to fold, and the strips aren't too short.

Question

Can I use clear contact paper instead?

Community Answer

If it's adhesive backed, then it might work. It depends on its strength and malleability. Since it won't cost much and it's really just about your time, why not give it a try to see how it works out?

Question

How many wallets can I make out of one roll of duct tape?

Community Answer

As an example, you can make one 18 cm by 9 cm so it could fit the €500 bill. The wallet body alone, when done carefully, can be made with 150 cm of duct tape of 5 cm wide.

Question

How do you make a duct tape wolf sculpture?

Community Answer

First, you'll want a model, it may be a picture from the Internet, a toy wolf, or a real wolf if it is safe. One way is to just cover a toy wolf in tiny duct tape pieces. Another way (if that's not an option for you) is to use a few pieces of tape rolled into balls as a base and wrap them in more tape until you have 4 leg pieces, 1 head piece and 1 body, and then tape those together.

Question

How much tape do I need?

Community Answer

It will depend on the size of the wallet that you are making. It is better to over-estimate and have more duct tape than you need than to not have enough.
