Now you can consider how to make a wallet for small things from a cardboard box from under the juice or some dairy product. For this purpose, it is necessary to stock up with just a few materials for work:

• Box of cardboard.

Important! A prerequisite is that the box should have a screw cap.

• Sharp scissors.
• Pencil and ruler.
• The template to print.

In order to make such an accessory together with a child, it is necessary to observe the following procedure:

• The first step is to thoroughly wash and dry the cardboard box.
• On the parts of the box, which are located above and below, gently pry and peel off the bent corners of the box with scissors.
• Straighten the folds on the package.
• We cut off the strips along which the cardboard box was glued together at the top and bottom.
• Now, to make a paper wallet with your own hands without glue, you need to arrange the cardboard bag so that its lid is in the middle.
• Cut the box along the side that is opposite the cork.
• We apply the prepared template to the inside of the package, cut it.
• Now, without removing the template, we trace the fold lines, using a simple pencil - you need to press hard on it. It is better to use a ruler here.
• We bend the workpiece in vertical as well as horizontal lines.
• We bend the side parts of the workpiece.

Important! To make this easier to do, bend the product first along diagonal lines, and after that fold the resulting angles in half.

• Let's open the cover of the former box, we will fold an almost ready wallet. Now you need to take away the hole on the upper and side parts with a simple pencil.
• Draw up the missing parts of the circle, cut it out.
