Interesting point from Peter: "copying money is often considered ILLEGAL conterfiting even if the copy is bad and you dont intend to try an pass the copy off as real."
Dont want to get in trouble for creating, do we?
I was actually just going to say I have a clear vinyl wallet myself! I bought it in a cute local artist store in Seattle, WA. It was really well made, and has lasted!
You can use any picture you desire! That might be the best part about vinyl wallets. Thanks for the design, now I can make myself a new one!
I think this is a great idea.
But you should be very careful, copying money is often considered ILLEGAL conterfiting even if the copy is bad and you dont intend to try an pass the copy off as real.
(this is why those 'money noveltys' - tee towels and so on - have "SPECIMEN" printed on them in large letters !
In Denmark even a bad copy (for example only one side of the note) can get you up to 4 years in jail !
Young crafters are occasionaly in trouble with this.
The Danish slogan "money is something you must be able to trust" is actualy sensible.
If you are making this wallet I would sugest 2 possiblitys Either use real money !!! (though that may be considered defacing in some legislations)
I have seen a wallet folded out of 20 X 1$ bills which could even be dismateled when money is short
Or use money from another country which is not legal in you own country, here you could may be use real money which is larger than you own countrys money.
I am not a expert on law so cannot garantee that this is 'water tight' but Please be careful, it would be a shame if a great idea got you in hot water.

Hey there, I found your site whilst having a rake about on etsy, so I thought I'd come have a nosey, particularly since you're in Dundee, I was at uni there too, taking a wee break at the mo! Anyway, I've totally deviated from the point of this comment, just wanted to say I like your little wallet - I make similar ones myself I've totally forgotten what else I wanted to say. Oh well! Take it easy

What size needle did you have to use to sew through the vinyl?
