December/January How-To from StarSerge: Fun Foam Wallets


What you'll need:

  • Flexi Foam-Any Color
  • Foam with a Sticky Back-Contrasting Color or Pre-Cut Sticky Back Felt Pieces
  • Self Stick Velcro
  • 1/8" (3mm) Eyelets
  • Eyelet Pliers
You will be able to get all of these at your local craft/fabric store

1. Select the color of flexi-foam you want your wallet to be.

2. Cut the foam to the size wallet you wish to use. The one pictured is 5" by 7 1/2" and fits my business cards perfectly. You can also make a rad check book cover too!

3. Fold the foam over so you get an idea on how deep you want the pocket area of the wallet to be.

4. Start at the corner of the folded foam, pierce with the small side of the eyelet into the foam with your fingers. Now align the pliers and squeeze through the foam.

5. Now that you have your first eyelet in the foam continue around the sides and base of the pocket and flap.

6. Next with the sticky back foam draw an image you wish to have on your wallet on the paper side of the sticky foam, ie: star, heart, initials. Cut the image out with scissors. Peel off the paper backing and stick to the flap of the wallet or back side of wallet. Do the same with the sticky felt if you are using that option.

7. Finally add the sticky back velcro to the inside flap and top of pocket. Make sure it matches up right before sticking. Enjoy! :)
