Juice Carton Wallet

  • Half gallon milk or juice carton with plastic cap, rinsed
  • Scissors
  • Paper towels
  • Tape
  • Wallet Template
  • Ballpoint pen
  • Ruler
  • Craft knife (optional)
  • Butter knife

Instructions
  1. Carton Wallet - Step 1 Cut open the carton so it lies flat, as shown; put aside the cap for now. Dry the inside with the paper towels. Tape the template on top of the carton so that the top circle lines up with the spout. Mark the outline of the template with a ballpoint pen. Using firm pressure, trace the lower circle and the dotted lines of the template so that they transfer to the carton. (This will score the lines for easier folding.) A ruler will help you mark the straight lines. Cut out the shape from the carton.
  2. Carton Wallet - Step 2 Use scissors to cut out the lower circle as marked. (Tip: To make cutting out the circle easier, first make an X with a craft knife.) Use a ruler and a butter knife to further score the fold lines.
  3. Carton Wallet - Step 3 Following the fold lines you marked, create an accordion fold on each side of the wallet.
  4. Carton Wallet - Step 4 Tightly squeeze the accordion folds. Fold the top flap down, pushing the spout through the hole. Screw on the cap to keep the flap in place.

“I paid for the family behind me in the drive thru at McDonalds. I told the cashier to tell them Merry Christmas. They looked as if they needed the help. Hope they enjoyed it.”

“I have become friends with an elderly couple at my church. The older man has leukemia and is not able to get out much. When we had a xmas banquet at church I had a video guy tape people from church giving him a Merry Xmas greeting. When he saw the video he was so excited. His wife was very grateful.”
