Tutorial on Duct Tape Coin Pouch

Good Morning Friends,

Here is the tutorial on the duct tape coin pouch.  I hope you find the directions easy to follow.

Step 1:  Decide the color and pattern for your coin pouch.  The front of mine is going to be the swirly pattern and the inside and back of the pouch is going to be the silver. I cut 4 pieces of duct tape 3 1/2 inches long. (see photo below)

Step 2: Then I overlap the swirly duct tape so my coin pouch is a height of 3 inches tall.  (see photo below) 

Step 3:  Then I turn the swirly piece over and cover the sticky side with the two other pieces of silver duct tape. (see photo below)

Step 4:  I cut 4 more pieces of duct tape for the back of the coin pouch.  I chose the silver color. I cut them 3 1/2 inches long. 

Repeat steps 2 and 3 with these pieces. 

Step 5: Here are my two completed pieces. The front cover and the back cover of my coin pouch. (see photo below)  

Step 6: Next, I cut the top piece of a ziploc bag.  I make sure it measures 3 1/2 inches long. (see photo below)

Step 7:  I separate the ziploc closure and cut the two pieces apart. (see photo below) 

Step 8:  I turn the front cover over and position one of the pieces of ziploc like in the photo below.   

Step 9:  Then I cut 4 strips of duck tape which will secure the ziploc closure and be my border around the coin pouch.  You may want a thicker border than mine.  In case you are wondering, my strips are 3 1/2 inches long with a width of 3/4 inches. (see photo below)

Step 10:  I position one of the strips from step 9 across the bottom of the ziploc piece. (see photo below)

Step 11: Then I stick it to the back of the front cover.  The ziploc is now in the inside of the coin pouch.  

Step 12:  I use another strip of duct tape and attach it to the top of the ziploc piece.  I fold the excess over to the front. You may want to trim it first depending on how thick you want your border to be on the front of your coin pouch.

I attach the other piece of ziploc to the back cover like I did to the front cover.  

Step 13:  I take the front cover and back cover and press them together where the ziploc pieces meet. (see photo below)

Step 14:  I cut thin strips of duct tape to close in the sides of my coin pouch. Again the thickness is up to you.  

That's it!  You are done.  You now have a coin pouch that will hold a lot of loose change.  The best part is the change won't fall out because it has the ziploc closure.  

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  If you have any questions please don't hesitate to leave your questions in the comments below.  I'm new at writing tutorials and I'm learning as I go along.

If you make a coin pouch please send me a photo.  I would love to see them.

Have fun and remember...Bee Creative!
