Upcycled: Bike Tire Wallet

I have a wallet rule. I don’t buy a new one until the old one is dead and gone. This can be sad because these are so many awesome handmade wallets being made. It is a rule that I have to stick to, or I would be swimming in hardly used wallets.

This upcycled bike tire wallet ($24) by Belcher looks indestructible.

The maker writes:

Totally waterproof and super durable, even though the rubber is very thin. I use a similar one that I made for myself nearly a year ago, and it shows no signs of wear.

Will I never have to buy another wallet again?

A quick search for “bike tire” on Etsy shows me others making things like belts and rings from bike tires, too.
