How to design a money clip wallet





A money clip wallet is a kind of wallet designed primarily to hold both cash and credit cards. In the current world, most individuals don't walk around with their physical cash in their wallets but rather in credit cards. The money clip wallet is made up of a credit card holder and attached to its backside is either a plastic clip or a swivel magnetic clip, hence the name ''money clip wallet''. They have become a great way to avoid wallet bulge and therefore most people prefer them over the normal bulging wallets. The good news about this kind of wallet is that it can be designed by anyone provided the requirements for designing it are all acquired and assembled together in the right order. It almost costs nothing to design this kind of wallet and this is going to be so evident in a short while. Here's a comprehensive and simple instructive for making a simple leather money clip wallet.

Requirements
-Pieces of leather, one rough and another smooth one with artistic designs or patterns
-Pieces of magnet either from old hard drives or anything else containing a magnet
-Some sewing thread of any preferred color
-Some paper money
-A sewing machine
-A knife or scalpel
-Some glue (super glue)
-Edge dye
Procedure
(a) Trim both the smooth and rough leather scraps into 4 pieces of 20cm long and 5cm wide just to allow for trimming back at the perfection stages of the exercise. Now divide the other piece of trimmed rough leather into three identical pieces

(b) Apply glue on the inside part of the smooth leather piece and stick it to the similar shaped rough leather piece to have them appear as one package. Place two of the three identical pieces, one on each end of the already glued pieces and make sure they are perfectly fitted onto each other.

(c) In order to make sewing easy and allow for the insertion of the magnets later, use the scalpel or knife to scrap off one side of the corners of each of the two identical pieces so that the sew-line won't interfere with the fold. Break the magnet into two small pieces of almost the same size and shape and make sure they are not bigger than the two identical small leather pieces.

(d)Now glue the edges of the points where the two small identical leather pieces are going to lay then glue them on their respective positions. Trim the edges to make sure that all the edges are uniformly and properly aligned.

(e)The next step is to knit all-round the entire edge of the joined leather pieces together beautifully using a desired pattern on the sewing machine. For consistency, it is important to ensure that the length of the knit makes a rectangle or any other desired definite figure.

(f)The outer edges are then trimmed so they are approximately the same distance from the knit-line. Confirm that the magnets are actually attracting each other and not repelling and then what follows is their insertion into the sewn leather pack by just opening up the protruding ends of the two inner small identical leather pieces.

(g)Tack in the protruding ends of the two inner small identical leather pieces and fold the whole thing once so that the corners holding the magnets touch each other. Dress up the edges with some edge dye and now you can begin your paper money to see how what you have just made in such a short time works.
