Folding a simple wallet without glue
What can be made from paper? If the question concerns such material, then the first thing that comes to mind is appliqués and animals. This is not true; a paper base can make a wonderful wallet. Not only children, but also adults love folding wallets. The making of a wallet is based on the principle of folding envelopes. We discussed the topic of folding envelopes earlier.
First of all, we will learn how to make a paper wallet using the origami method without glue. The finished craft does not have to be used for money. The product can store parts for crafts, magazine clippings, and important paraphernalia. Wallets can be decorated as you wish. And if you use craft paper, then it’s not difficult to present the product to your friends for a holiday.
Each wallet will be made of paper. The material does not require preparation or skills. Working with paper is very simple. In addition to the paper, prepare:
- scissors;
- pencil;
- paints, multi-colored pens or pencils.
Before we tell you how to make a paper wallet, we want to warn you that only careful and consistent work will help you achieve a beautiful result. Take your time during the wallet creation process.
Please note that to make a durable product, you need to choose thicker paper. Let's get started:
- take a sheet and fold it in half;
- open the product, you should have a marked line after folding;
- we tuck the sides of the material under this line;
(Step 2) - step back one centimeter from the mark and carefully iron the bent parts;
- fold the workpiece again.
The wallet is ready. You can decorate it at your discretion. If you think that this instruction on how to make a simple paper wallet is too primitive, check out the instructions below.
Baby book: creating a miniature accessory for a doll
Today I have prepared for you another little master classic, literally ten minutes, on doll miniatures. We have already sewed a sweatshirt and several handbags, and today we will complete the set by making an accessory for the doll - the book “Scarlet Sails” by A. Green. The book will measure approximately 3.5 cm by 5 cm.
As usual, I prepared everything “turnkey” :) We print the layout for the book, it can be on plain paper, but it can also be on self-adhesive paper.
In addition to the printout, we will need a small piece of binding cardboard, from which we need to cut out two rectangles 5 cm by 3.5 cm and one rectangle 0.7 cm by 5 cm. From the printed sheet we cut out the cover, endpapers and all the pages.
Glue the cardboard cover onto the printed one, as shown in the photo:
Fold the cover onto the cardboard:
Now let's move on to the pages. Fold each page in half and glue them together. If you use self-adhesive, the process will be very quick and simple.
When all the pages are glued, we glue the endpapers in the same way on both sides:
This is what a notebook should look like. If during gluing some pages do not lie quite evenly, it doesn’t matter, cut them with a knife along the ruler.
All that remains is to glue the inner paper block to the cardboard cover using the endpapers:

Multicolored paper wallet
To make it, prepare:
- A4 sheet of any color;
- long ruler;
- PVA glue;
- pencil.
Now we’ll find out how to make a multi-colored paper wallet:
- Take a sheet and fold it in half horizontally. Press the resulting bent part with a ruler. We straighten the workpiece.
- Now we fold the material in a vertical direction. Press the bent line.
- Take a ruler with a pencil and mark identical angles on each side of the workpiece. We make folds along the marked strokes. Smooth out thoroughly.
(Step 2) - We lay the triangles placed at the top back. Turn the future wallet over with its back facing you. There should be an octagonal figure in front of you. We wrap the workpiece inward on both sides so that a rectangular shape remains.
(Step 3) - We wrap the edges of the envelope back. We press everything with a ruler. There are some protruding edges left at the back. They can be secured at the bottom with glue. The top part cannot be glued; this is a part of the wallet that will open.
(Step 4) - The product is almost ready. All that remains is to put it under a heavy press so that it does not deform when drying.
The work is finished. You learned how to make a multi-colored paper wallet. Today there is paper for creativity on sale. Which is painted with patterns or divided into stripes of different colors. You can use this material option and then your wallet will be especially bright.
How to make a magic wallet for children out of paper?
In order to make this product, you will need two thick pieces of cardboard and three pieces of elastic. A wallet is called a magic wallet because it skillfully hides money inside itself without locks and is able to open in different directions.
Work in stages:
- Cut two identical pieces of cardboard: 10 by 7 centimeters.
- The length of the elastic is 10 cm (three pieces).
- Glue the rubber bands to one of the pieces of cardboard (see diagram, figure “B”).
- Turn the cardboard over and wrap it with rubber bands.
- Attach a second piece of cardboard.
- Glue the edges of the elastic bands to it.
- Let the glue dry. Decoratively hide the places where the rubber bands are glued. The product is ready!

Paper wallet
What else can you make from paper? An interesting solution from megamaster.info is to create a wallet. For work, prepare:
- sheet A4;
- long ruler;
- PVA;
- scissors.
How the work is carried out:
- Fold the sheet in half vertically. Carefully iron the fold. After this, we repeat the folding steps, but in the horizontal direction.
- Unfold the workpiece. Find the center of the material and mark it with a pencil. From the resulting point you need to draw a rhombus. The bottom point of the figure should touch the fold.
- We cut the workpiece exactly along the fold line and along the marked diamond shape. The cut side needs to be connected. To do this, use a small sheet of paper and PVA.
(Step 2) - On each side of the diamond you need to make four two-centimeter horizontal cuts. After the cut, we wrap the resulting elements inside and glue them to the base.
- Now you need to start wrapping the workpiece inside. First fold the top sides, then the bottom. The paper that will protrude must be carefully wrapped inside and glued.
The wallet is ready. Now you know what else you can make from paper. If this product is not enough, we will surprise you with more interesting wallets.
An easy way to create a book
For this craft, prepare sheets of A4 paper, a stapler or needle and thread, cardboard and scissors.
The thickness of the book will depend on your desire. In general, for a small size, 2-3 sheets will be enough. Carefully fold them in half three times to create eight sections on the spread.
Now all that remains is to cut the sheets along the folds, fold 8 pieces together, bend them in half and fasten them in two places on the fold using a stapler or thread. Thus, make two “booklets”, sew them together at the side fastenings and put them under pressure.

Master class on creating a book for dolls. Dolls love to read too
In my house, a book can be found in every room. It is strange that in miniatures dolls are rarely given the ability to read. When creating another roombox, I decided not to miss such an important detail. Some people use book substitutes - miniature notebooks. I wanted to make a “real” book with my own hands. So my desktop became a printing house for one day.

Contents of the educational book
A children's educational book is a special book with colorful pictures, games and exercises that is suitable for a child from 1.5 to 3 years old. The child will be interested in touching and going through adventures with the characters of the book.
When using it, he will be able to learn:
- Colors;
- Geometric shapes;
- Letters and numbers;
- Elementary mathematical operations.
In addition, the child will enjoy different tactile sensations, sounds and smells. The book will become a pleasant companion on the road, a good accompaniment before bed, and simply a favorite toy.
Advice. When making books with your own hands, you can make several toys that can be changed as the child gets bored with them or as he grows and learns new knowledge.
Making a book for a doll together
Now you can get started. In order to understand how to make a book for a doll, you need to follow the recommendations below. There is nothing difficult in this creative process, but since the book will be small, you need to work carefully.
Cut a white sheet of paper in half lengthwise.
From colored paper, cut out a strip that will be slightly, 4-5 millimeters, wider than the strip of white paper.
Take one white strip and set the rest aside for now. Bend it in half lengthwise. Then straighten and bend each side towards the middle.
Repeat this procedure with colored paper, making a blank for the cover.
Now you can start making pages. To do this, take a white blank and bend this strip in half. Unbend. Then fold each side towards the middle.
Fold the edges twice more. Smooth the edges of the folds well.
Do the same with the second white stripe.
Insert one finished strip into the other (shallowly, but so that the structure holds). This way you have one long strip.
Fold the strip like an accordion.
And the only thing left to do is to put the cover on the book. It's easy to do. Remember how you put covers on notebooks and school textbooks as a child. Insert the first page into the “wrong” part of the cover, fold the cover over and pull it over the last page.
Trim off the excess part of the cover. Here's how to make your own doll books.
The little book for the doll is ready. You can make several volumes to fill an entire bookcase or shelf. Use different colored papers to make the books stand out and look nice in a modern dollhouse.
To make the books more realistic, you can write something on the inside of the sheets or paste in pictures.
Now you know how to make a book for a doll quickly and easily.
Book on glue
Before you learn how to make a book for dolls, you need to prepare the materials:
- Sheets of white or lined paper (for a doll notebook), sheets with text (for a book).
- Paper napkin.
- PVA glue.
- Cardboard.
- Cover material (leather, fabric, paper, foil, etc.).
- Paints.
- Ruler.
- Pencil.
- Scissors.
What do we have to do:
- From paper, cut pages of the required size (approximately 1.5 by 2 centimeters).
- Place them together to form a book. Coat the future crust with glue and apply a piece of napkin.
- Make the cover details from cardboard. Two large rectangles the size of the book itself and one small one the size of the crust.
- From the material prepared for the cover, cut out pieces 3-5 millimeters larger than the prepared cardboard. Leave a small gap between the cover sections and the crust to allow the book to open and close. Glue the protruding parts inside.
- Make a flyleaf by cutting out two book-sized rectangles from paper, folding them both in half and gluing one side of each rectangle to the inside of the cover so that the other side can then be glued to the main sheets.
- Fold the cover. There should have been fold lines. If the cover is made of leather, then they are probably not noticeable. Therefore, the relief can be created by extruding it with a knitting needle.
- Paste the sheets into the book.
- To create the appearance of finishing braid, glue a thread on the bottom and top where the sheets touch the spine.
Once you know how to make a book for dolls, you can start experimenting.
