Tyvek Origami: Ultimate Wallet

Fold an awesome wallet from a sheet of paper (15.5 in x 13 in). Make it awesomer by folding it from Tyvek! At the end of the video, I show how I used a Pazzle cutter and the Copic airbrush system to make the design on the wallet.
Use a Starbucks paper bag to make this wallet with the logo showing:
• Origami Starbucks Pape...

[@carito4909]

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! :)

[@yanetlibrerosocampo8667]

pero entonces sería 39.37 de ancho y largo 33.2? agradezco tu gentil respuesta

[@bodhigarden]

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

[@OreoPortz]

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

[@Mrrabott]

Is this your own design?

[@Mrrabott]

+Rafael RA I'd love to use it for a project

[@jasonparker1928]

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

[@insertnamehere9838]

THANK YOU!!

Put a bird on it!

[@Expieriencethelegend]

I got frustrated so I just put 2 pockets.

[@abbyle3725]

2 dollar bill huh

[@JanetLanier]

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.

[@thebarak]

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!

[@kyo_1296]

an SuperA3 / A3+ its 32cmx45cm ..and the 15,5x13inch is 33x39,37cm..so its "only" 1 cm shorter .. maybe could work.. anyway there are several paper wallets made from A4 to less than A3 paper sheet..so.. maybe some little changes.. and could work.

[@alexanderpoplawski577]

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.

[@alexanderpoplawski577]

Checking back in. A new Christmas a new set of wallets. Still loving it.

[@utubepunk]

@@alexanderpoplawski577 Besided baking parchment, what over materials have you used that has held up well?

[@alexanderpoplawski577]

@@utubepunk For my personal use, I pretty much stick with Tyvek and baking parchment. I bought a reel of decorative baking parchment and they come out quite nice. For money presents I use gift wrapping paper, but it's not fit for daily wear and tear. Still have to watch the video every year to relearn the folding 😀.

[@alexanderpoplawski577]

Back again. Last set lastet 2 years, thanks to home office. 😏

[@jterry92]

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

[@williamgeandarme9301]

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.

[@roshanparmar6065]

I am making it 3rd time.It is realy cool And thank to thebigbluevan.

[@PatrickCalifia]

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.

[@francolopez2460]

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

[@rapaduros]

thanks

[@herberar]

If I make the calculations, I get 394 mm by 330 mm . Wich is almost square. Something is wrong here.

[@jhartetube]

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!!

[@fernandojose2599]

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

[@hanialatif2654]

I hate that you have not got the camera the right way has anyone found it hard to see what he is doing

[@theavy91]

Hell yeah i couldn't see shit to fast

[@TomasLomba]

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.

[@mmanda515]

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!

[@herberar]

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

[@mwoolner]

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.

[@TheRaptorhunter123]

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!

[@sarabahreini3581]

I NEED TO SEE THAT WALLET :>

[@TheRaptorhunter123]

My K-Pop Wallet? It's simply black with the T-ara logo in the front and inside on the left pocket it has Miss A logo and on the right Girls' Generation logo :D

[@racylaserjet]

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

[@astrangeone]

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.

[@Bigsp4]

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.

[@Bastel_Boys]

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!

[@54sq]

Watched 40 times now and cant get past the for beginners fold this crease (right lower). Please ahare more slowly how to do that tnx

[@light6940]

i want a wallet that hold coin holder, dollar holder and credit card holder can you please find me some kind of origami like that??

[@TheLoveAlienOfficial]

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

[@thebigbluevan]

Congratulations! They really do last almost forever.

[@MitsukiKen]

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

[@kikerpo]

CAN YOU MAKE A TUT ON HOW TO DO IT WITH REGULAR PRINTER PAPER?I HAVE NO STARBUCKS BAG OR TYVEK ENVELOPE :/

[@emilysue7712]

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

[@seyedsohrabfarjami6165]

sorry i was just too much angry cause that was the only blue origami paper i had

[@leyesdelaconsciencia]

thebigbluevan WHAT IS THAT MARKER AIRBRUSH???!! WHERE I CAN GET ONE! PLEASEEEEE! IT'S AWESOME!

[@TealSunsArt]

I found a pack of 5 for like 5$ at staples but it you get a better value when you buy like a pack of 30

[@Bigsp4]

It would be expensive ... it is a precision engineered synthetic material...

[@Toniko777]

Am i the only one who saw him use a 2$ bill to measure how high it would be?

[@t0caia726]

you weren't kidding. ultimate.

[@Perceus996]

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

[@thebigbluevan]

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!

[@BassT3hYoshi]

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

[@ChromaticHeart]

Please show how to make $ flower in a pot origami by Herman Lau

[@Brian3Garcia]

In the US you can also get them for free from the post office.

[@ninjack5255]

(psst, snag an express shipping envelope from the post office)

[@thebigbluevan]

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.

[@thebigbluevan]

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

[@sliverHawk7643]

can you make it out of 15 inches tall and 11 inches long

[@yanetlibrerosocampo8667]

que linda billetera que medidas son por favor

[@thebigbluevan]

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

[@OrigamiCatPaper]

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

[@JavoNielsen]

thanks for the tutorial, is perfect!!!

[@oblivian1308]

Aren't those actually sold and called Mighty Wallet?

[@manuelochoazevallos8014]

WHATS THE NAME OF THE PAPER?? CAN YOU TELL ME THE NAMEE PLEASEEEE!!!

[@gcjaloto]

Tyvek. It's on the title.

[@drtnjz]

Sadly, it doesn't work with euros :(

[@thebigbluevan]

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with this design ;( This model isn't intended for origami paper, though.

Creo que una cortina de ducha sirve igual

[@williamchung5745]

can you make a tutorial with copy paper

[@randomnestutorials]

where did you get the air brush marker thing?

[@KAINAT23.7]

The hardest tutorial I have watched

[@strandis1457]

I'm having problems buying tyvek in sweden..

[@thebigbluevan]

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

[@thebigbluevan]

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

[@mosaicglass]

Plus you also say it in the video itself.

[@emilysue7712]

psst back. I never go to post offices lol

[@exodous02]

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. . .

[@FalconCzar]

let me just whip out my 2 dollar bill ;P

[@conejitoasesinoOG]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@thebigbluevan]

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

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 :)

[@dephny1207]

Looks very very nice but I don't have that kind of paper

[@utubepunk]

Pick up a tyvek mailer from the Post Office or FedEx.

[@thailanwood]

Hey can i make it out of any lenght

[@nurulsafiya6036]

great idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ritchiesheeran8774]

A3 doesn't work

[@kyo_1296]

yeah.. in the real world format paper we use A3, but its short for almost 4cm compared to the size in inch provided here, but maybe tried the A3+? its only 1cm shorter than 33cm(13inch) sugested here

[@exodous02]

Yeah, Origami isn't for everyone.

[@sdasdweee]

ughhh I should really go to sleep

[@arunkv3100]

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.

[@hannahcarey51]

I guess the 35 people that were trying to like this video sneezed the second they clicked the mouse I mean what are the chances

[@mdriaz2002]

How many days can the walet last

[@BertLiu]

thebigbluevan, I made a video response to you. Since I can't post links here, please search for "Awesome origami Tyvek wallet." I look forward to your comments :)

[@rashid117]

u tk so much time to do a thing

[@thebigbluevan]

Sure, go ahead and personalize it all you want.

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.

[@emoskop]

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!

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