Tyvek Origami: Ultimate Wallet 

Who are these people who complain that you talk too much or who want this to be made with a SMALLER piece of paper? The gene pool gets shallower every day. I thought it was a great piece of teaching, elegant design, a useful item made beautifully. You have MAD skills and I am IN LOVE with this video. Elegant, please keep going.

I hope you never take this video down. I have used it several times to make wallets from decorative papers at the stationery store. They turn out beautifully! Thanks so much for posting them. Please ignore the idiot that complained about you talking too much.

It has become some kind of a Christmas tradition, to come back to this video each year and folding my supply of wallets for a year. In addition to Tyvek, I also use baking parchment. With a width of 38cm as it comes of the reel and a length of 33,5cm. It holds 50€ notes max. and is as durable as Tyvek.

I know this video has been around a while, but I'm sure glad I found it! Following the instructions in this video I made a wallet from a map I got during my last bikepacking trip in Sawtooth National Forest and the Sun Valley, Idaho area. These small maps are made of very thin plastic, are waterproof and tear proof. It was only slightly more difficult because of the folds already on the map. Other than that, it turned out perfect! This map was the only thing I brought back with me from a week long, snowing, freezing rain, cold solo bikepacking trip. Thank you for this awesome video!!

Made a few of these and a recreation of the dynomighty wallet. This is nice because there's no template cutting and no gluing. Also, you have some control over the size of the card pockets and can make them a little snug... (tip, when measuring for the card, I use a reference card and fold ever so slightly smaller than that... seems to work out.) I haven't used either one extensively yet so I can't say which one would hold up longer.

Used the paper from a clothing store paper bag, came out nicely!

Thanks fo this tutorial ! I'm making this wallet for the third time, they're great ! The tyvek wears a little with time, but I enjoy that, it looks like a random piece of paper , very discreet ^^ I topstitched around the edges of the wallet, making sure I dont close the bill pocket. I'll try to cover it with some duct tape. I'm getting away from the origami concept, but I'm looking for more durability here.

Look, as an engineer that works with different sheet sizes I’ll tell you, it doesn’t matter the sheet size you use if you keep the size proportions, for example, every A format sheet from A0 to A6 has the same side proportion, the long side’s length is the square root of 2 multiplied by the short side’s length which is approximately 1,41 times longer. You can see this with an A3 format which measures 420mm X 297mm. Anyways, as long as the proportion between sides of the sheet you use are the same as his’ you will get the exact same wallet either bigger or smaller.

Hay 2,54 cm de 1inchs o pulgada 15,5 in =39,37 cm 13in= 33,02 cm asi que tu papel debe tener las medidas 39,37 x 33,02 cm saludos! :)

Awesome wallet! I made one out of a map of my town. Thanks, man!

Have been generally intrigued by these & just started checking out video how-to's. While I don't comment much on videos -- had to tell you how informative & detailed yours was! I'm definitely gonna give it a shot & just wanted to let ya know how appreciative I am of the time & effort you put into making it. ~Thanks again! =) Amanda from Chicago!

It's a Copic airbrush system. It uses the Copic brushes and compressed air (from a canister or with a compressor) to blow air over the nib of the markers. It works pretty well, different colors have slightly different spray characteristics, so you do have to experiment. It won't replace a dedicated airbrush, but if you only need this once in a while, it fits that niche.

Just watched creator of the Mighty Wallet (Terrance K) and his video on his wallet design. I think I prefer yours - no cutting the center out. I might have to try my hand at both designs. I have an official one from Mighty Wallet with Harley Quinn on it. Gorgeous wallet, and is surprisingly strong.

i just made one out of a sheet of baking paper. it's slightly translucent and has a brown, very classy finish. XD Thank you so much!

For the people that complain about the measurements not being in the metrical system: 32cmx45cm Para la gente que se queja de las medidas por no estar en el sistema métrico: 32cmx45cm

I really like this and your instructions are great. I have taken wrapping paper with owl motifs and covered it with clear strapping tape before folding. It turned out to be a cute owl wallet for my sister. Thank you for sharing the tutorial.

If you have any old maps lying around (like the ones AAA used to hand out) then they make great wallets using this method. Quite sturdy and they last me a few weeks.

Nice simple but very affective!! Really like this one. Want more videos now, I'm running out.

This wallet takes more paper than printer paper, but I have a few tutorials coming up that use smaller pieces of paper! Stay tuned.

Congratulations! They really do last almost forever.

Easy to follow video, best origami wallet. Made one from a Fedex pouch. Takes about 15 minutes. thanks for sharing!

Really helpful. You helped me make my custom K-Pop wallet :D I made one following this same tutorial like 5 or 6 months ago and it wasn't until today when the first one I made wore out and now here I am once again making another one! I used thick drawing paper. Thank you SO MUCH!

Thanks! I just made my first wallet. Great design and instructions. Thanks again for sharing.

It's wonderful. I made mine with 2 sheets 8.5" x 14". I should have cut 2 inches but worked out well. Thanks for this tutorial.

It is odd that the Unites States, Burma (Myanmar) and Liberia are the only three countries in the world that do not use metric measurements!

I made mine today. recycled tyvek from ebay merch. I got. came out perfect! thank you!

Tyvek _envelopes??????_ You just made my week!!!

I realy like the design. made myself a little christmas wallet out of wrapping paper, might last the holydays over, might not hehe. I wanted a bit more protection for my cards then the design offers, so being fortunent enough to have a laminator i crafted 6 pieces of laminated paper. sized them to fit the "back wall", the middle wall (between the cash pocket and creditcard pockets) and finaly the wall of the creditcard pocket aswell. Seems to be working very nice, and might even be reusable :)

That is the Copic air brush adaptor. It uses the range of Copic alcohol-based markers and compressed air.

yes you were the only one congratulations you are the chosen one

Ur instructions r excellent & so's ur wallet. Thanx a lot.

Man, you absolutely rock. I mean... It was necessary to repeat it over and over because you went too hard on the explanation and too weak on the steps per se (The first hour of trying I thought " What a douchebag!" ), but besides that it actually worked. I realized about the effort you actually put on this. This video had a whole process on me (from a hatefull frustration to victorious thankfullness). Thank you very much.

you make the best wallets

You are an excellent teacher, Bravo.

Tyvek lasts about a year with normal use. If you go to the post office you get Priority Mail(or what ever country you're in) tyvek envelopes free. Unfortunately if you don't want the designs on the envelope of the country where you acquired it then you're not going to like the wallet that much. On the inside of the US ones it says 'Thank you for using Priority mail' so you can't just have the inside exposed. If you travel it would be cool to pick one up from each country though. . .

Thanks man after like 100 tries i finally made it thanks nice wallet and your a great teacher!!! :)

Thank you again I just finished my first one. Not as nice as yours. Yet. First try success. Great tutorial.

This is a great design. Big props to you!

Bad ass video. Going to my post office now to get a tyvex envelope. Thank you.

You can get it at any art store that sells Copic markers, or online.

Super purse. Many pockets and compartments, I like it. From I Like!

I put the dimensions in the description area below the video.

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to. Do you mean that that credit card pockets are the same height as the overall wallet? If so, make sure that around 8:50 you're folding down to the height of a credit card. If you mean something else, let me know!

Awesome model and video! Thank you!

Thanks for the good tutorial! I've made one with wrapping paper for gift or something like that and it turns out very well! :D

I got it right (for us dollars sized currency) with a 350 x 370 mm sheet of Tyvek.

you weren't kidding. ultimate.

The hardest tutorial I have watched

I mean is there a eaiser way to get tyvek than spend 20 bucks

I went to buy tyvek envelopes but the paper looks transparent... :( Where can I get envelopes that are thicker...?

Glad you liked it!

What size is the paper? I don't have any tyvek paper so I'm trying to do it with what I have.

Can anyone recommend what gsm (paper thickness) of tyvek I should use? I'd like to be able to print on both sides if possible. Thanks

Yey! Thank you very much for the tutorial it works very well to me.

Great job! thank you for upload the video. What spray paint did you use? Can i buy from Ebay?

where did you get the air brush marker thing?

Where can you buy Tyvek? Cause everywhere I look it's extremely expensive.

Great tutorial. Thanks!

Is this model derivative of someone elses design? If so, I'm curious where it's from. Also, I just made one of these and it's great! Thanks!

How many days can the walet last

Thanks dude i just made mine! Awesome vid!

Hey, what kind of airbrush do you use? as I can find it or get it. thanks

This video is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Bro. You The Man.

You get what you give in , you put flimsy paper such as normal paper , it will get destroyed in a few days , use tyvek , it is much stronger.

Yes, Cheers on this awesome video :) Thank you for explaining it so perfectly detailed! You rock:)

What's the design called

Is it possible to put some sort of sealant on it, so that the wallet lasts longer? If so, what would it be?

I buy a box of large envelopes from staples or any other office supply store.
