That would make for an interesting conversation on a first date.

I'd rather make one from an envelope (http://www.instructables.com/id/Wallet-made-from-Tyvek-mailing-envelope/). You just need scissors and a ruler.

I made my wallet out of red duct tape, I love it. I made it without a guide, and I think it looks a lot better than that one.

The money saved on buying a new wallet can then be spent on games :D

No. I would love someone to whip that out on a first date to pay for dinner.
Instant Dump.
Plus, a good Leather wallet only costs about $20 and they last forever.

I remember trying to make one of these when I was in seventh grade. It turned out horrible.

The "duct tape wallet" thing in general is many years old, like pre 2001.

But yea if you plan on having a second date with any girl, don't whip out a duct tape wallet on the first date. Preferrably don't whip one out ever, but definitely not the first date. Duct tape wallets just barely beat out velcro wallets as something a grown man should not have.

So see, it does have its use. Make a duct tape wallet and carry it to all the blind dates you go to. Have the leather wallet in one pocket, and the duct tape wallet in the other. at the end of the date, if you liked the girl, just take out the leather wallet. But if you didnt like her and want to dump her without hurting her feelings, take out the duct tape wallet. She'll see it and there won't be a second date without you having to break anyone's feeling.

Word... unless you're a filthy hippie. I use my business card holder as my wallet. It is super small, it has a clear window for my license and room for credit cards behind it and the other side is perfect for cash.

That wallet looks like shit. I made a better one than that without a guide. Sadly, I upgraded to leather. But now that I have red duct tape, I should take another stab at it. ;)

Thanks,
And even if you are not going to use it, it's still nice to have for show

I prefer duct tape roses. Easier to make, nicer to look at, and you can even make 'em pens!
