Remove the top of the keyboard from the bottom.

]]> 68397 1 49 Tip PC keyboards work best, since you can open most of them with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Macs generally require a tiny Allen wrench that can be hard to find.

]]> 68398 2 60 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/60.jpg Remove the circuit board Unscrew the circuit board, and remove it. Peel off the sheet of rubber key springs.

]]> 68399 3 66 Tip If the rubber key springs are attached individually to the circuit sheets, remove each one carefully with a razor blade.

]]> 68400 4 74 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/74.jpg Remove the circuit sheets Carefully remove the circuit sheets, and gently pull them apart. You’ll usually find two circuit sheets, and they may be glued together at a few small points.

]]> 68401 5 84 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/84.jpg Cut out six pieces Using a pen, ruler, and scissors, measure, mark and cut out four pieces of the circuit sheets that are 3-by-4 inches each. Make sure that no circuit sheet holes run along the edge of any rectangles. Then, cut out two more pieces, this time making them 3-by-3 inches each.

]]> 68402 6 106 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/106.jpg Cut out a 6-inch piece of tape Cut a 6-inch piece of tape and lay it out vertically, sticky side up.

]]> 68403 7 111 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/111.jpg Stick pieces to tape Place the 3-inch edge of one of the larger circuit sheets horizontally onto the tape, 4 inches from the top of the tape. Then place the edge of a second 3-by-4-inch circuit sheet onto the tape next to the first, leaving a one-eighth inch gap between the two sheets.

]]> 68404 8 126 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/126.jpg Fold the tape over The sides of the circuit sheet that you want on the outside of the wallet should be the sides stuck against the tape. Fold the two ends of the tape toward each other and press down.

]]> 68405 9 141 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/141.jpg Repeat Repeat with another piece of tape and the other two 3-by-4-inch circuit sheets. You have now assembled the two pieces of the wallet that will hold bills.

]]> 68406 10 153 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/153.jpg Tape 4-inch ends together Stack these pieces on top of each other, with the insides of the wallet facing each other. Cut two 3-inch pieces of tape. Place a piece of tape along the edge of each 3-inch end and fold it over. Trim off any excess. You’ve now sealed shut the wallet’s flaps.

]]> 68407 11 169 Tip If the adhesive side of the tape is exposed through holes in the circuit sheets, cut pieces of tape the same size, and stick them to the exposed tape inside the wallet.

]]> 68408 12 180 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/180.jpg Seal the bottom Seal the bottom by folding the wallet, and sticking a 9-inch piece of tape along the bottom edge. Make sure the tape does not stick to itself. Open the wallet, and fold the piece of tape up to seal the bottom. Trim off any excess tape at the ends.

]]> 68409 13 199 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/199.jpg Attach the card holders Place the 3-by-3 inch circuit sheets on the inside the wallet, flush with the bottom left and right corners, and tape them in place along the outside edges with a 4-inch piece of tape. Fold the tape over to seal, and trim the excess.

]]> 68410 14 215 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/215.jpg Add four pieces of tape Add four pieces of tape for the top and bottom edges of the card slots. Only the inside edges should remain open.

]]> 68411 15 227 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/227.jpg Cut the corners at an angle Cut the top two pieces of tape at an angle to keep the corners from becoming bulky. Then, fold the tape over into the cash slot of the wallet. On the bottom, cut both pieces of tape at an angle to keep the edge of the tape away from the wallet corner, where it will be prone to peeling. Fold the rest of the tape over to finish securing the card slots.

]]> 68412 16 246 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/176378/246.jpg Add your items Add your items to the wallet, and you’re done!

]]> 68413 17 253 Fact The history of the keyboard dates back to the first typewriter, which New York-based Remington Co. mass-marketed in 1877 to compensate for the drop in gun sales after the Civil War.
