I spent the weekend in Portland visiting family and discovered a fabulous way to make a wallet. Very hip and green! You take a half gallon juice or milk carton, cut it up, fold it just so, and voila! A pocket-sized change purse or wallet. My niece Ellie is pictured holding one she made herself.

To make one of these wallets you need:

• Half gallon milk or juice carton with plastic cap
• Scissors
• Wallet Template
• Pen
• Ruler
• Butter knife (to make the folds)

Below is a picture of an open juice carton wallet.
