Learn how to make a super stylish (and super functional!) wallet using a single sheet of washable paper. Arounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou begins by sharing her technique for painting a custom surface design onto the Kraft-Tex paper. Then, through a few simple folds and machine-sewn seams, she shows you how to turn the flat sheet into a multi-pocket wallet. Simply add a snap at the end to complete the look. This project can easily be done on a standard sewing machine at home. Though it has the durability of leather, the washable paper is much easier to work with and holds up over time.

Great class. I can imagine making the wallet with Kraft-tex, leather, or fabric. It will be fun to size this for different currencies too. Thank you for the great ideas.

Cute design, well-planned instructions, sure I can do this. But I have no idea what "washable paper" is and it was not explained. I assume it goes by the brand name "Kraft-Tex"?
