Fresh bills stay crisp in these wallets that double as gift box and card. We used medium card stock for the billfold and wrapping paper for the pockets.

To assemble: Using a real wallet as a template, outline billfold on two pieces of heavy paper; cut out. With white craft glue, affix pieces back-to-back. For pocket, trace billfold onto lighter-weight paper. Cut out, and trim off top third lengthwise. Affix to wallet with dots of glue; if desired, cut out and affix a side pocket for message card.

To reinforce wallet, topstitch around billfold and pockets with a sewing machine, using a 1/8-inch seam allowance. Wrap elastic ribbon snugly around billfold; cut and staple into a band that holds wallet shut.
