Description

We'll show you how to turn a milk or juice carton into a practical wallet. Not only will this give you a very useful wallet, but you'll also be using the carton that would otherwise have ended up in the bin. Turning useless waste into useful products is a key principle of low-tech. What's more, you get your own personal wallet!

Introduction

Reuse and recycling have become essential practices for reducing our environmental impact. One creative way of doing this is to make everyday objects from recycled materials. Today, we're going to learn how to make a wallet from a juice or milk carton. This DIY project is not only environmentally friendly, but also practical and fun to make. Follow the detailed steps below to create your own unique wallet.

Matériaux

-1 brick of milk or juice

Outils

- 1 pair of scissors

Étape 1 - Preparation of the brick

- Rinse the inside thoroughly with water

- Dry the brick with a cloth

- Dry the inside of the brick

Étape 2 - Cutting the brick

Cut off the top and bottom of the brick to make a cylinder.

Open the cylinder (of the brick) to obtain a flat sheet.

Étape 3 - Fold marking

- Fold the brick at 2 equidistant points (as you would fold an A4 page before slipping it into an envelope) to obtain 3 identical lengths.

- Make sure the folds are well marked by pressing firmly on them.

- Fold each part in 2 so that there are 4 parts in each area (see photo 4).

- Now fold the whole cardboard in 3 so that only the bottom tabs stick out. Press down hard on the fold. (see photo 5)

Étape 4 - Cutting out the bottom section

Cut out the 2 bottom side parts of the brick as shown in the photo.

Étape 5 - Cutting out the last parts of the brick

Cut out the two sides of the brick base as shown in the photo.

Étape 6 - Insert the cut part

Insert the prepared piece into the top third of the brick. This creates a double inner pocket (the purse takes shape!)

Étape 7 - Fold the sides of the brick

Fold the box on both sides, so that the centre line (in blue) folds inside the box and the two side lines (in red) fold outwards. (see photo 1)

Étape 8 - Make an impression on the inside of the flap

Retirer le bouchon de la brique, rabattre le couvercle, puis presser le carton contre le système de fermeture en plastique de manière à créer une empreinte ronde à l'intérieur du carton.

Étape 9 - Faire un trou dans la fermeture du porte-monnaie

Utiliser un ciseau ou un cutter pour faire un trou dans lequel le bouchon de la brique puisse ressortir.

Étape 10 - Fermeture du porte-monnaie

Bravo, ton porte-monnaie est maintenant fermé ! N'hésite pas à ajuster la taille du trou pour faciliter l'ouverture et la fermeture.
