Inspired by Ekster and Secrid style wallets, I sought to create my own wallet that is spring loaded using easily obtainable parts. I salvaged a spring from a mechanical pencil, and used 3M velcro (the soft fuzzy side) to hold the cards in place. The 3M velcro is placed on opposite sides (please reference the picture). I opted to weld the two halves together using a soldering iron for a secure connection.
Wallet is designed to hold 5 non-embossed cards (or 2 embossed and 2 non-embossed).
