About it
A wallet is a useful thing. People use wallets to keep money, and for cards and papers too. There are many shapes and sizes of wallets. Wallets can be carried in your pocket, or in a backpack, or in a handbag. The insides of wallets are different too.*
(*A wallet is also known as a purse, a pocketbook, a billfold, and so forth.)
Your task
Draw a wallet for yourself. Your wallet must be useful. Your wallet must carry money, cards and other things. Make your wallet out of paper or card. See how it looks.
Do it step-by-step
To design is to make something new, just as we want it to be. We design step-by-step. The first step is to LEARN. We want to know more about the thing that we are designing. So, we learn about it. The next step is to DRAW. We draw it just as we want it to be. Drawing is designing. The last step is to MAKE. We make it just as we want it to be. When it is made, we can finally see it!
