[tutorial] how to make kpop icon wallets (new style)

I said after this tutorial I’d show you how to make this, and after lollygagging and putting it off I’m doing it. It’s slightly harder, but not too hard, and since it’s so big, it can only be carried in purses (ergo it’s for girls). so ohlehgo!

what you’ll need

  • two pieces of paper that is 20x18 cm (20 cm long, 18 cm wide)
  • two pieces of thin cardboard 9.5x18 cm
  • one piece of paper 8.5x18 cm
  • scissors
  • ruler
  • glue stick
  • icons (a lot a metric fuckton you’re going to be using a minimum of 90)
  • clear packaging tape
  • a dollar or your paper currency for reference

print out your icons like in the previous tutorial, of whichever artist or group you would like. carefully cut them out into squares.

cut two pieces of paper into 20x18 cm rectangles (use a ruler for this), and set aside. cut another piece of paper into the 8.5x18 cm strip. this will be your pocket to hold your money

take a piece of cardboard from an old box or poster board, something thick but not too thick, something that can’t be bent easily. cut the cardboard into two 9.5x18 cm pieces.

take the two pieces of cardboard and large paper pieces and glue them together. make sure it looks exactly like this: with enough space for you to fold your wallet and it doesn’t give you complications

glue icons to paper (each face holds 18) evenly spacing like so. also glue icons to the 8.5x18 paper

both sides of the wallet must have icons on them.

now take your tape and cut long strips of them, taping all sides of the wallet and the pocket. make sure tape is even and smooth out all the bubbles

to the bottom part of the wallet, take a small piece of tape and attach the pocket to the wallet

for the card holders, do the same thing I taught you in the last tutorial, only you repeat that step 6 times

that’s it. it’s actually not that hard.

WHOOP ARTS AND CRAFTS

if you have actually tried making either of the wallets, send a picture! I want to see your wallets :D these are fun to make and you’re not spending a lot of money on a wallet from the store
