DIY Gel Wallet

When I attended a session of The Flash Bus Tour, I received this compact flash wallet for free. I didn’t know what to do with it because I don’t use compact flash cards and I already have a place to keep my SD cards. My second problem was that I didn’t have a place to store the free gels they gave away or the gels I had previously purchased.

I guess sometimes, two problems can add up to one solution.There was stitching on the wallet that seperated each of three large pouches into two flash card sized pouches. I used a knife to carefully remove that stitching and voila! I now have aperfectly sized gel holder.
