   Round the corners of the remaining flaps with scissors. This gives the wallet a nicer shape.

   Fold the open carton into three equal parts. The part with the closure should face up.

   Now fold the milk carton so that one of the rounded flaps is tucked inside. This creates two separate compartments in the wallet.
