Number 1 random gift of the Malerich Christmas: my jester hat. Number 2 random gift of the Malerich Christmas: Char’s gargoyle. Mom wanted a duct tape wallet, but I’m still optimizing the product, and when I give a gift, it’s going to be quality. Speaking of my duct tape creations, keep an eye out for version 3.0.
After making my first duct tape wallet and carrying it around for a day (see below), I learned a few things and decided to make a second attempt at it. Here is the result. It’s much slimmer and sturdier, but I think it’s too tall. I’m still trying to optimize the pockets also. I’ve had several people suggest that I set up shop with the vendors on Telegraph and sell these fine items. If this chemistry thing doesn’t work out, at least I’ll have duct tape wallets to fall back on.
My wallet has been falling apart for some time now. I really don’t feel like buying a new one, so I took matters into my own hands and made a new one from duct tape. Here’s the my first generation wallet, which I made following directions I found via google. It’s actually nicer than I expected, but there are a few modifications I’d like to make in my next attempt. I think I might find some clear duct tape. That could be cool.
