I love recycled coffee bag crafts! I confess that I have a stash of recycled coffee bags in my closet waiting for some craft love. Over at Instructables, user katmckee took a coffee bag and made a wallet out of it, which would be a great use of my recycled coffee bags AND serve as a good Father’s Day gift. I usually recommend duct tape wallets as a smashing gift for guys, but these recycled coffee bag wallets might be an even bigger hit with my coffee-loving menfolk. [how to make a coffee bag wallet]

Katmckee sewed this wallet, but you could easily use duct tape to keep it together instead of sewing the wallet.

Project Estimate:

Used coffee bag, on hand
Sewing stuff OR duct tape, on hand
Velcro closure, on hand

Total: FREE and up

Neat reuse of a coffee bag. I see a duct tape roll is lurking in the background, maybe that’s a backup gift?
