Up-cycled Cardboard Money Clip

Do want a money clip but don't want to spend $15-$50 on a product. Well, you've come to the right Instructable! I am gonna show you how to take an old piece of cardboard and make a functional money clip.

For this Instructable you are gonna need the following materials and supplies:

Materials:

Rubber Band

Cardboard

Supplies:

Scissors

Hot Glue Gun

Ruler

Rotary Cutter or Exacto Knife (optional)

Let's get started by setting up your work area. Let's put down newspaper for easy clean-up and plug in the hot glue gun. Set out all your materials and supplies so you can see and reach them easily.

I used a rotary cutter for all the cardboard cutting. I recommend cutting your cardboard to these measurements (leave a little extra length for the fold):

2 1/2 inches by 6 inches

Now that that's done, let's fold it in half.

Cut some more pieces of cardboard to the following sizes:

2 1/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches

2 1/4 inches by 3 inches

2 1/4 inches by 2 1/2 inches

Glue only three edges down to the back of the clip, leaving the top unglued. Glue the next to the back of the existing one, and then repeat for the final one.

Now that your money clip is all decorated, load it up with cash and cards and head out to get groceries with your homemade money clip that is bound to get you compliments!
