Do you have a broken Nintendo (NES) controller in your closet? Put it to good use!

You will need
one sacrificial Nes controller
small phillips screwdriver
wire snip pliers
UHU glue
Long Zip

Step1.
Unscrew controller backing (a couple of screws may be immovable, if this is the case remove as many as possible then carefully pry apart the controller and snap the screw mounts)
remove circuit board and wire. using pliers snap off any of the screw holders/wire guides etc
leave the ones that hold the button pads in place.

Step 2. Try not to stick your fingers to the project...
Use a blob of glue to secure the rubber backing of the keys so they dont fall out -repeat for each key

Step 4. Stick the zip
This step is kind of fiddly, try to get a zip that is at least long enough to go around 3 sides of the controller. use a piece of ribbon or similar to bridge the gap along the bottom (to form hinge). Glue around the inside edge of the controller and attach zip, use an old bank card to press the zip to the edge. work out which way round you want you wallet to be and make sure the middle of the zip is at that side. Glue around the inner edge on the back plate and line up the zip, sticking as much as you can before unzipping (helps line it up) finish positioning zip.

Glue a strip of ribbon around the remaining edge then to the other plate. agin use the card to press the edges in... You can do this on both sides to go from "wallet" to "change purse"

Step 5.
Tidy up any loose edges with a little extra glue where required. make sure it has properly dried before using.

There you have it, your very own retro NES controller wallet!
