I've seen many Duct Tape wallets before, but never seen one with a bow, or with a latch, so i decided I should try it! I dont have pictures for the standard wallet.

Okay, so many of you know how to make a Duct tape wallet, so I will start from the part where you add the bow, and latch. for those of you who do not know how to make one, please use the link provided from the duckbrand website on how to make a duct tape wallet; http://www.duckbrand.com/Home/Duck%20Tape%20Club/ducktivities/fashion/how-to-make-a-duck-tape-wallet.aspx
Cut a piece of duct tape about 4 and a half inches long
fold one edge to about the center of the piece
repeat step 4 and leave a little tiny bit of sticky tape
fold back ant forth in an accordion fashion to make the bow
it should look like this.
cut a 6.5 inch piece of tape,
cut it in half, lengthwise.
fold part way in kind of like steps 3 and 4, but leaving more sticky space
wrap this around the middle of the bow, about 2-3 times tightly so it doesnt come apart
Bring the loose end around in a loop, and secure with another small piece of tape
add another piece of tape to the back of the loop, secure to the front of the wallet, close to the opening side
cut a piece of tape, about 3-3.5 inches and fold the corners in of only one side making a kind of elongated trapezoid this will be your latch leave a little bit of the sticky part at the end
reinforce this with a few more layers of tape
attach the latch to the back side of the wallet. cover it with another layer of tape , to make sure the latch doesnt fall off if you want to, you can also add one to the other side of the latch, connecting the inside of the wallet to the latch, making it more secure
this is what the latch should look like after the extra tape is added.
this is the latch, completed
you're done!
