I lost my wallet some time ago, and I finally decided to upgrade from the green rubber band I was using to a bona fide wallet. I decided to follow these instructions and fashion one out of duct tape. I was a little skeptical of how durable a duct-tape wallet would be, but as I was making it, I realized that duct-tape is basically adhesive cloth covered in plastic (duh), so this wallet could potentially outlive me. The results are homespun, but have a certain punk appeal.

I don't have have anything against the fine folks at BookPeople; the sticker was longer than the wallet, and one of the logos needed to be redacted. I picked BookPeople, since I got the sticker at Waterloo Records. I highly recommend this project to anyone, but readers who want the anarchist-chic of a duct-tape wallet without the extra effort can buy one from Beckybot for $20. I'm sure Becky's duct-tape skillz far outstrip mine.
Dude, don't you think you're asking for your identity to be stolen by putting your drivers license number on the web?
I like the duct tape wallet, though. You should send Garrison Keillor an e-mail. He does a recurring bit on A Prairie Home Companion about duct tape (quack quack).
