A few years ago in Prague I had my wallet stolen and needed a new one. Low on cash and armed with only a black roll of duct tape and a few random household items I went to work and got creative. I began by wrapping the stuff around a wallet-sized piece of cardboard for sturdiness then created the main pocket to stuff the notes into. After I had the basic design worked out, I threw in a few pockets for credit cards and the like and then, after downing the fifth beer a sympathetic friend bought me, I added the crowning glory of my masterpiece: a see-through window for the driver's license made of scotch tape. I now have it as a souvenir on a shelf somewhere because my folks bought me one of those wallets with a chain after I returned to the States.

You can also cut what ever shape you want out of paper, and cover one side of the paper with Duct tape. Then you have a nice thin duct tape wallet.

ID pockets made of scotch tape or clear plastic mailing tape are possible. Change pockets are also a neat trick, which I'm not quite sure how to describe - you ccreate a flap just past a pocket and cut it with a narrow section, but it then widens again. You use this to tuck under a little loop you can make... arghhh. IT would be easy in picture.
