Not sure of the exact technical term for these but I hadn't really thought much of them until we started doing pocket-money.
Suddenly my guys need to take money places and even though the big one has a wallet and they often have pockets - it's just one more thing to lose or leave somewhere. Modelled with kind of photo you're pleased you didn't pay for!
Enter the wrist wallet - velcro on and off with a wee zip to hold money or other very small treasures.
I made them from fabric the boys had chosen 'lighting N'Queen' and Dr Seuss. Find similar Dr S fabric here.
On Friday when they got up there was a little package waiting for them both at their places for breakfast.
These versions are fully lined and..... I followed an online tutorial!!! I know Juliet will be very proud of me - online tutorials freak me out a bit but this one was very simple. You can find it here.
The boys can put them on without any help too which is great as well.
I am really pleased with these - I can see they might make a feature on the birthday present list. I made 2 extras because it always takes so much longer to make one individually than several at once.
It's also another pin real life where you take some inspiration on your pinterest board - here's the board, and you actually do something with it. You can find all sorts of my inspiration on pinterest and follow along if you want to.

I think an adult version would be great too if you were a running/walking type and just wanted a house key (and maybe some $ for a coffee along the way)
What do you think? Would you wear one?
Oh so proud my dear!!! Great job!
