Simple illustration of multi-layered origami wallet Detailed illustration of how to fold the wallet

After buying good-looking wrapping paper, what can we do with it? Oh, by the way, fold a wallet! This wallet is suitable for folding with hard and strong wrapping paper with a waterproof laminated film on the surface. If folded smaller, it can be used as a coin purse; if folded larger, it can be used as a container to store various cards and receipts; if folded larger, with a suitable carrying strap, it can even be used as a womens handbag. It is not difficult to fold. As long as the paper is cut neatly and folded carefully, the bag will look very tasteful. It is also an interesting little gift to give to relatives and friends.

To fold this wallet, you need a rectangular piece of paper with an aspect ratio between 1:2.6 and 1:2.8. I usually cut a whole piece of wrapping paper in half and then use double-sided tape to join it into one long strip. In addition, you also need to prepare transparent tape and snap-on buckles. Of course, you can also use a magnetic piece with strong magnetism instead of a snap buckle. However, some credit cards and passbooks with magnetic strips cannot be placed inside. Personally, I think snap buckles are the best.

Get the rectangular paper ready.

Fold it in half and take the midpoint.

Align the right edge line with the midpoint and fold out two points AB.

Fold the left part of the AB line in half several times and divide it into four equal parts.

Continue to fold in half and divide the left part of line AB into eight equal parts.

Close the folds as shown.

Open the first layer of paper as shown in the picture.

Align the lower two corners with the upper fold line and fold it at 45 degrees.

Fold inward along the 45-degree fold line, and fold both sides inward at the same time.

Turn up another layer.

Align the lower two corners with the polyline.

Open and flatten.

Fold the angle bisector as shown in the figure.

Pinch out the sharp corners.

As shown in the picture, pull out the inner layer of paper on the side and press it flat.

Align the creases and press flat.

Stick firmly.

Fold the sides inward as shown in the picture.

Pull the bottom layer of paper apart.

Turn to the back.

Fold the upper edge downward as shown in the picture. To make the folded parts have the same width, you can draw a line first and then fold it.

Fold a polyline in the figure to determine point A.

Cross the two points AB and make a diagonal line.

Measure the dimensions, take AC=BD, and then fold a fold line CD parallel to line AB.

Fold it in half several times and divide it into four equal parts between the two parallel lines.

Turn to the front.

Fold out five pleats as shown in the picture, and the pleats should be the same width. Fold as neatly as possible.

You can use clear tape to secure the pleats on the reverse side, fixing only the ends and center of the pleats.

Use a ruler to measure the width in the middle, first draw a line, and then fold it upward to make the middle part the same width.

Turn to front.

As shown in the picture, open the compartment of the wallet.

Fold the sides inward.

Flat.

Loop the right section over the bottom of the wallet as shown.

As shown in the picture, find the location to install the snap buckle.

Open the paper, draw cross lines on the back of the paper where the buckles will be installed, and stick a layer of transparent tape on it.

Add double-sided tape.

Tear off the wax paper of the double-sided tape and use an awl to poke a small hole in the center of the crosshairs.

Align the female buttons to the cross lines and glue them on.

Add two layers of transparent tape to secure the female buckle.

Close the paper and turn it over.

The sub-button is pressed on top of the female button.

As shown in the picture, pull down the wallet cover, leaving a little slack at the arrow to determine the position of the sub-buckle.

Use the same method to glue the buttons to the back of the paper.

Adhere double-sided tape to the location shown in the picture.

The sides are glued firmly.

As shown in the picture, fold the excess part of the wallet cover inwards.

After flattening, make the outer layer of the wallet cover 2 mm longer than the inner layer.

Fold the excess part inside along the crease.

Fold the two corners inward and make sure they are the same size. You can measure the size and draw a line before folding.

Fold the two corners of the inner layer to the same size.

As shown in the picture, fold the two inner corners of the wallet cover inwards.

Place the two corners of the outer layer in the middle of the sandwich.

Add double-sided tape.

Stick firmly.

The beautiful wallet is made.
