The power of inspiration!

Today is my birthday and I looked around google & youtube for “amazing wallet” and found a couple of really interesting “Duct Tape Wallet” and their instructions on how to make one!!

My brother ultimately bought me a new wallet for my birthday but I am very inspired by those 14 – 15 years old making a living selling duct tape wallets!

So comes my decisions to buy two rolls of duct tapes (black & white), a box cutter, plastic name card holder and the rest of the already have materials like cutting mat, ruler, zip lock bag and a little aluminum foil.

Total cost is about $15 but can be cheaper if I didn’t buy the box cutter haiz.

So first I decide the design and immediately make the cut! 

Then I cut many 0.5 cm strips for later use :D

I never follow other people’s measurement but my own new wallet instead! More strips!

I taped up the front of the strips and proceed to make the woven checker box design!

The beginning I’m struggling to keep it tight

Eventually I managed to tighten all the strips after many many rough touches and eventually it worked!

Now for the standard folds for the bill notes :D

The center fold for more credit cards

I inserted some aluminum foil to prevent RFID credit card theft but not sure if it will work.

Added 4 credit card slots! Nice!

The checkered design suppose to be at the back making one more folds for more bill slots

I.D. slots preparation, eventually I didn’t go with the frame method but just taped the sides as it’s really difficult! hehe.

More credit card slots! Total of 8 slots!

Finally completed the duct tape wallet with a zip lock coin bag!!

False Advertising Website

Recently, a friend of mine sent me a seemingly real consumer warning site that showcase a get rich quick scheme in SINGAPORE that WORK?

The link is here http://www.consumerwarningsreport.com/2011fallreport.php

But it’s FALSE, everything in that page is not about warning the people about scams but to advertise for that “work from home” and get rich quick scheme.

Warning Signs

  1. instead of warning it’s overly positive report is my first indication that it is not a real consumer report
  2. I check the home page, there are NO OTHER posts…this is the ONLY post making this “consumer report” fake
  3. Last I checked, there are no way to embed photograph on the comment section unless it’d placed there by web owner
  4. At the very bottom, the disclosure mentioned “This is an advertisement for Online Trade Training
  5. Click on the header, you will not be directed to the main page of consumer report

There are so much false advertising in the text descriptions & fake photograph of women holding a cheque (of some sort) which obviously from google adsense payment and not from the “Online Trade Training”.

DO NOT FALL FOR THESE FALSE NEWS ADVERTISEMENT!

The big clue to me that it was fake was when they asked for money. A legitimate job will not ask for money but will direct you in how to get quality assignments.
