This is perfect for a teacher gift! I bet I can make several from the materials I already have at home. Thanks for the idea!

My 7 and 8 year old grandkids are always waiting for one of us to say we do not want our wallets anymore so they can ask if they can have it or we are always buying them one because they lose it. This felt wallet is a great idea because felt is cheap and if they lose it no big deal. I like that the felt wallets are light weight too and you can decorate them any way you like. Great party gift for a birthday party guests. Such a very easy tutorial for the whole family.

This is an easy way for a 5 min proyect, that works for upcycle old felt

Very cute! Imagine all of the cute wallets that everyone will be carrying now;} Thanks!

How clever. and thank you for the pattern. I'll try it and let you know how it works. I plan to decorate the front by cutting out felt with a Spellbinder die. This is so much fun to have projects just come to your email each day.

I see simular ones sold on Esky.com for $35.00. They are beautiful.
