Learn how to make a super stylish (and super functional!) wallet using a single sheet of washable paper. Arounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou begins by sharing her technique for painting a custom surface design onto the Kraft-Tex paper. Then, through a few simple folds and machine-sewn seams, she shows you how to turn the flat sheet into a multi-pocket wallet. Simply add a snap at the end to complete the look. This project can easily be done on a standard sewing machine at home. Though it has the durability of leather, the washable paper is much easier to work with and holds up over time.
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Washable paper in any color (Arounna uses Kraft-Tex)
  • Acrylic paints in colors of your choice
  • Matte medium
  • Cutting mat
  • Clear quilting ruler
  • X-Acto or utility knife
  • Variety of craft brushes
  • Sewing machine and thread
  • Snaps
  • Snap setter
  • Hammer
  • Scrap wood (or surface on which to hammer)
  • Pen
