Disposable wallet
I stumbled across the neatest little craft yesterday and I just had to try it. Check out this paper wallet:
(Instructions can be found at the Instructables site here)
This wallet is made from one sheet of A4 or 8.5 inches by 11 inches paper. Thirteen snips of the scissors and two pieces of tape later and that is what you end up with! There are two pockets for credit cards and a section for dollar bills.
This is a nice craft for older kids (age 10+ in my opinion) and takes about five minutes to make. You can make a new one daily or hourly to match your clothing choices. If you want to pretty up the closure and make it look less like a billfold, you could incorporate a ribbon closure that wraps around a brad, or use eyelets and tie a pretty piece of ribbon through it.
The only thing missing is a coin purse section!
Edited to add: I’m now obsessed and making them for everyone and anyone:

ive never seen that!
ive seen the insides dispose? never the outside. Might come in handy at a party or something? just use up the cash and then add the wallet to a pinjata?
