1.) Gather your materials. Clear Vinyl, Mod Podge, pictures to put inside the wallet, scissors, stuff to sew with and the optional nosy cat. 2.) Cut two (2) matching pieces of vinyl approximately 3"x9" 3.)Spread mod podge on one side of each piece of vinyl for a nice even coat. 4.)Place your pictures onto the mod podge facing down. 5.)Set them aside and let the mod podge dry. 6.) Cut out a piece of vinyl 2 3/4"x4". Sew it on one side of the vinyl with the picture facing up. Leave one side open so you can slide your ID inside. 7.) Cut a piece of vinyl 1 3/4"x4" and a piece 1"x4". Stack them on top of each other so the bottoms line up and sew them onto the other side of the vinyl with the ID pocket. Finish the wallet by sewing around the sides and bottom. 8.)Enjoy your new easy DIY wallet with endless ways of being customized.

Awesome! I've been needing a wallet, and I've been looking for tutorials. I think I like this idea the best, though. Thanks for posting it!

indeed, this IS awesome! do you know if you could use those snap/button pliers on them? i'd imagine it'd be easy to rip out of the plastic. i guess you could always sew velcro on it though...
another question: where can you buy clear vinyl at? i don't think i've ever seen it at craft stores unless it's superbly hidden.

I'm sure you could use the snaps. Maybe the plastic ones though? They sell clear vinyl at all your major fabric retailers. I've seen it at Joanns, Hancocks, hell I bought mine at Walmart.
