How to make a wallet with your own hands?
If you want to give your child a truly exclusive item, then you can easily do it yourself and even with your child.
A wallet can be sewn, crocheted, or glued from bright, beautiful, thick paper.
This is one of the easiest ways that the child himself can cope with.To create such an accessory, you will need to take scotch tape of different colors, a sheet of very thick white paper or cardboard, a ruler, scissors and a simple pencil.
First you need to divide the paper sheet into 3 equal parts 7 cm long. Glue a strip of scotch tape on the central part. Then completely glue the reverse side of the sheet with colored tape.
The next step: fold the sheet in half and cut a small hemisphere in the middle. Then cover the reverse side of the sheet with tape, and bend the sheet itself in three places along the previously drawn lines. Now it remains to decorate the resulting purse-purse with applique, lace, lacing, ribbons to your liking and the stylish accessory is ready!
A more complicated option is made of fabric. This will require any suitable material (leather, suede, lace trim, chintz, calico, satin, velvet). Attach a pre-made paper template of any shape from the inside out onto the selected fabric, circle it with a pencil and cut it out with a slight seam allowance. The model can be monochromatic or made using a material that is contrasting in texture and color.
Sew the patterns together from the wrong side, turn them out and arrange them as you wish. You can sew on a lace, then you get a nice bag for storing money or keys. You can sew on ears, whiskers and eyes and you will get a funny little animal's face. There can be a huge variety of jewelry options.
