Steps at a glance
1. Crease both centre lines
White side up. Fold in half top to bottom and unfold, then left to right and unfold.
2. Bring the top and bottom to the centre
Fold the top and bottom edges to the horizontal centre crease so they meet.
3. Fold both ends behind
Fold the left and right ends behind to meet at the vertical centre. Take all layers together.
4. Fold in half to close the wallet
Fold the top half down over the bottom. The first horizontal centre crease becomes the wallet hinge.
5. Open the wallet a little
Lift the top cover a little. Open and close the finished wallet along the same crease.
