Dog-food-bag Wallet

I always make my wallets from crisp-bags, but they wear out in 3 months. Now my dog changed to a new type of dog-food and the bag it came in, looks like the perfect material to make a better wallet out of.

I used a laser-cutter, because, well, I am a laser-cutter addict, but scissors will work fine.

The dimensions are for a stack of 20 credit cards and Euro-bills.

Materials:

• Empty dog-food-bag

Tools:

• Scissors (or laser cutter)
• Sewing machine

I designed the wallet a lot like the chips-bag wallet, because that design is working for me. I made the whole wallet from one piece.

Both the original Gravit-Design and the PDF-file are included.

Cut a flat piece from the dog-food-bag and cut the pattern on the lasercutter. (or print the pattern on paper and cut it from the bag with a knife or scissors)

Sew the two pieces that will be tug in the wallet with a simple straight stitch, close to the edge.

I used a fancy stitch for the sides and a straight one over the dotted line at the bottom.

Finish it off bij stitching between the credit card compartment and the bills. Just for show, I also stitched the dotted lines on the flap over the credit cards.

Now just fill your wallet with money and plastic, roll it up and put it in your pocket.

Enjoy your new, cool, recycled wallet.
