Thanks Vanessa for this creative tutorial. Wallet made from a computer keyboard. In all likelihood there is a keyboard within a few feet of you. Inside that keyboard there probably is a circuit sheet that makes for a surprisingly durable and thin material for making a wallet. Any mention of this project must provide a link to www.zieak.com with credit to Ryan McFarland. Why? In taking apart electronics i find uses for most of the parts. Things which can not be reused go into scrap piles for recycling. But these sheets couldn't be easily reused and probably can not be recycled. I tried using overhead transparency sheets that had been printed on for a customized clear wallet pattern but the sheets mark when folded or creased. You'll need:A desktop computer keyboard (for the circuit sheet and a metal piece as a straight edge)A screwdriver to open the keyboardA ruler or tape measureA cutting board or cutting matA razor knifeSharp scissorsA roll of clear packing tape The fine folks at HowCast have made a video from my Instructable...
