| Charise's Tag Wallet |
This an an origami folding technique. Originally used as a wallet to hold actual money, it is also perfect for adding tags to.
The wallet is made from one sheet of PAPER only. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult to manage with cardstock - the folds end up worn and torn in places. I have used gift wrapping paper (particularly love those double sided bright papers!), tissue paper, even baking paper. It all works because there is no cutting or adhesive used!
The technique can be applied to ANY sized square or rectangular paper. But to include tags, you will need a standard 12' x 12' sheet of scrapbook paper.
Here is my first online video, showing you how to make the basic wallet:
Ok. Now you have a wallet you can make cool tags to put into it. Because each wallet comes out a slightly different size every time you make one, it is difficult to give accurate tag measurements. As a guess, they are around 7cm x 12.5 cm. You can decorate and embellish them any to suit its purpose. Here a some examples from Kaylyn's & Charise's Tags when they indulged in a 2 day craft frenzy with me in early January.

Unfortunately, the video is made on my phone cam. Although the visual is ok, the audio isn't. I will try and create a new version when I can con a real video camera out of someone.
