If you are living in the United Kingdom, you recognize precisely what an Oyster card is. Oyster cards are prepaid plastic cards which can be utilized in London’s Tube transportation system. These prepaid cards generally come with a plastic wallet just for storage. Yet, if you like to use a card holder that is definitely more personalized, you might want to think about making one of your own by using plastic wallet inserts or some other common resources. Additionally, Oyster cards happen to be about the exact same measurements just like ordinary plastic cards thus you can also utilize the Oyster card case you craft for other types of plastic cards as well.

Ready all the resources you require

This project is very easy to do and uses things which you could conveniently acquire at home or get at any craft stores. You must have a few duct tape, scissors, as well as just about any adornments of your personal preference, which include things like stickers, beads, colored duct tape and other adornments.

Cut the duct tape

Start by cutting sections of the duct tape. Ensure the portions measure 2 inches bigger than your Oyster card or any other card that you’re hoping to use the card holder for.

Pile the duct tape sections that you cut with the sticky part facing up

Lay one piece of the duct tape you cut in a horizontal manner on a level worktop. Make sure that the sticky side is facing right up. Stack the other sections of duct tape beginning at the center of the 1st portion. Like the 1st one, double check that all of the sections have the sticky portion facing right up. The horizontal sides should also be lined parallel to one another. Keep overlapping until eventually the overlapped piece is around 2 inches larger than your cards.

Stack one more group of sections with the adhesive side facing down

Do the same just as the preceding procedure. Overlap the duct tape however the sticky side should be facing downwards. Press each of the overlapped sections together so that you can shut the shell of your cardholder. Fold the sides that are open and press so they will also be closed.

Make a card pocket

Do the preceding step to make a card pocket. Cut more pieces of duct tape and be sure they measure one inch longer compared to your card. Continue overlapping and stop if the stacked pieces are about half the width of the card.

Attach the pocket

When you are done crafting the pocket, install it to any side of the card case shell by utilizing the tape. Tape three sections of the pocket and then leave the fourth part, the one facing upwards, exposed so you can use it as the entrance of the pocket.

Put whatever finishing touches you desire

Slip your Oyster card or another card inside the pocket. Begin decorating the top of your card holder utilizing the embellishments you prepared. Be sure that the ornaments don’t impede the functionality of your creation.

Now you have your own personalized Oyster card holder that is unlike the generic ones used by everyone else.
