Something awesomely soothing about ripping tape

I had a few hours of free time on a shoot recently. The photographer I was working with suggested I make something. 2 hours later, I completed my first Gaffer's Tape Wallet. The perfect novelty collectors piece for any photographer, stylist or anyone else who uses Gaff Tape on a regular basis! The weave on the black wallet was done by the photographer, while I struggled to figure out how to make the wallet. Built much like a duct tape wallet, the Gaff Tape Wallet has a rough leather feel, and as it heats up, it does not get sticky like the duct tape ones do. The wallets are made out of 100% Gaff Tape. No cardboard and the like added.

I'm currently working on finding more colors and new patterns for the wallets. Each one I build gets a little more streamlined, clean and complex.

The white wallet with black trim took longer because the weave was a bit more complicated.
