I have to make a new paper wallet today. My first one was quite a trooper. It survived a number of events (not the least was ridicule from a Costanza wallet enthusiast) but could not withstand the deluge of the pipe burst. It clung to life for a valiant 4 days after the flood. Today I decided to humanly euthanize/recycle it.

I want to share that the initial zipper folds are critical and the wallet would have lasted longer had I gotten these right from the start. I'm considering printing some of the information I carry as business cards on the new wallet so I can further reduce the payload. I could even take a lesson from another instructable and scan/print the bar codes for the library & grocery card on to it. Making sure the info prints in a fold friendly spot will be the tricky part. Nothing like trial and error for this guy.
