Paper Collage Wallet

Version

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/paper-collage-wallet-3 • Posted by verytrue

This is my version of a paper collage wallet. I created a collage from different magazines, glued it onto a piece of paper and sewed some fabric (a piece of an old men's shirt) on to make the inside a little bit more soft (also i wanted the inside to be in just one coulour so this was what came to my mind) Then I folded it in three halfs to get the purse-looking-shape. Then I cut out two paper-triangles, folded them in half and glued them to the sides (on the four long sides of the triangles I added a small stripe of paper when cutting them out, so I have an area to glue on to the inside of the wallet). I put duct tape all around the edges, so it would look even ( i'm not the best seamstress) and it turned out really nice, I think. Then I sewed (and glued) on a hook-and-pile tape by hand.
