7 Simple Steps To Design Your Own Customized Oyster Card Holder
Should you wish to craft your own oyster card holder, prepare the things you need, cut the duct tape, pile the duct tape pieces with the sticky part facing up, stack one more group of pieces with the sticky part facing down, make a card pocket, secure the pocket, and put any finalizing details you want.
If you are living in the U.K., you are fully aware of precisely what an Oyster card is. Oyster cards are typically prepaid plastic cards which can be utilized in London’s Tube transport system. These cards generally include a plastic wallet just for storage. Yet, if you wish to use a card case that is more customized, you might want to think about making one of your own by using plastic wallet inserts or even some other common items. Also, Oyster cards are usually about the same measurements like usual charge cards therefore you can utilize the Oyster card holder you create for other types of cards as well.
Ready all the resources you need
This activity is very easy to make and uses items which you can readily get at home or purchase at any craft retail stores. You must have some duct tape, a pair of scissors, plus just about any accents of your personal preference, which include things like peel-off stickers, beads, decorated duct tape or other adornments.
Start cutting the duct tape
Begin by cutting portions of the duct tape. Ensure the pieces are about a couple of inches larger than your Oyster card or some other card that you’re planning to use the card holder for.
Pile the duct tape pieces that you’ve cut with the sticky part facing upwards
Put 1 piece of the duct tape you cut in a horizontal fashion on a flat work surface. Make sure that the adhesive side is facing way up. Stack the other portions of duct tape beginning at the center of the original section. The same as the 1st one, be sure that each of the sections have the sticky side facing upwards. The horizontal edges must also be lined parallel to one another. Keep overlapping right until the overlapped piece is approximately two inches wider than your metro cards.
Stack another set of sections with the sticky part facing downwards
Do the same just as the preceding step. Overlap the duct tape but the adhesive part should be facing downwards. Press each of the overlapped portions collectively so that you can close the layer of your card case. Fold the sides which are open and press so they will be closed as well.
Create a card pocket
Repeat the previous step for creating a card pocket. Cut additional pieces of duct tape and ensure they measure 1 inch longer compared to your metro card. Resume overlapping and stop when the piled pieces are about half the width of the card.
Affix the pocket
When you’re done creating the pocket, install it to any side of the card case shell using the tape. Tape three sides of the pocket and leave the fourth side, the one facing upwards, open so you can use it as the entrance of the pocket.
Add whatever final details you want
Insert your Oyster card or another card through the pocket. Start embellishing the surface of your card holder with the adornments you prepared. Make sure the decorations never hamper the purpose of your project.
Now you have your own personalized Oyster card holder that is unlike the generic ones used by everyone else.
