Making this paper wallet is surprisingly easy and will cost you next to nothing to put together. Next time you pick up a few snacks from Starbucks remember to save the bag. Then following this tutorial by Joan Coello, begin to cut up the paper bag using an x-acto knife and start folding the bag in on itself to create pockets that will hold your money and bills. This is a great way to repurpose an item that would have otherwise ended up in the trash into something super useful. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycled Products:** Opportunity for businesses to create innovative and sustainable products by repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded. - **Homemade Goods:** Growing trend of individuals making their own products, providing opportunities for businesses to offer DIY kits and supplies. - **Minimalist Wallets:** Demand for slim and compact wallets that prioritize functionality and simplicity, presenting opportunities for companies to create innovative designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Eco-friendly Products:** Businesses can capitalize on the trend of eco-conscious consumers by creating and marketing products made from repurposed materials. - **Crafting and DIY:** Opportunities for companies to cater to the growing market of individuals interested in crafting and making their own products. - **Fashion Accessories:** Innovation opportunities in the fashion industry to create minimalist and sustainable wallet designs that meet the needs of modern consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [RFID-Blocking Origami Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-wallet.md) - [Paper-Made Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-piggy-bank.md) - [Digital Folder-Inspired Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untitled-folder.md) - [Collapsible Folding Carrier Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-cup.md) - [Upcycled Leather Wallet Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-leather-wallet.md) - [Crumpled Chip Bag-Resembling Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-bag-purse.md) - [Accordion-Style Coffee Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accordion-paper-cup.md) - [Novel-Inspired Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-wallets.md) - [Folder Icon-Inspired Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pc-folder-wallet.md)
