Recycled Paper Card Wallets DIY

March 24, 2016
Next week I'm going on a trip, cross-country to Washington state for Artfest Rising. Really excited, and slightly nervous at the same time... (have never done anything like this before) will post pictures online during the event when I can (probably Instagram or Facebook).

Wanted to bring something to swap, so I made these recycled paper card wallets. Since I'm passionate about recycling, I rescued an old atlas of Massachusetts as a craft supply. How-to comes from Monica at www.artfulrecrafter.com. I cut my pages 9.5 x 10" to make sure the finished wallets fit the MOO cards I just got.

These are super easy to turn into mini journals, simply stitching papers into the fold is all it takes. Of course, the covers themselves can also be altered and embellished - I think these will be cute to share and people can have fun with them.

It was nice one day, so I was able to go outside and take pictures:

Recycled Paper Card Wallets DIY

I have many reasons to be happy with these: they were easy to make, will be light to pack in my luggage, I creatively reused materials, and made something useful.

Have you ever been on an art retreat? Brought along swaps or trades?
