This impressive recycled paper wallet is a DIY project from Minwt that turns a brown Starbucks bag into a fully functional wallet with tons of storage.
Making the wallet only requires a few simple materials, such as a cutting knife, double-sided tape and a paper bag that is long enough to contain your biggest bank note. The tutorial on Minwt requires a lot of folding and a little bit of cutting before the wallet really starts to take shape. The wallet is finished with crisp edges and a surprising amount of slots for full notes as well as credit and gift cards. Depending on what bag you choose, it may even have a fun print on the back of it like this example does. Plus, with the money that's saved crafting your own wallet, you'll be able to treat yourself to more coffee.
