DIY Passport Cover

Next week I'm leaving for Tajikistan. I've got my visa and passport ready to go. But if I will be taking my passport all over the place it should be protected against squished bananas and leaky coffee. The stores in the neighbourhood did not have a solution, so I had to make one myself.

First I cut off a piece of plastic tablecloth, about the size of the passport, but with some extra space on the sides to make flaps.

Then I sewed in the flaps, to fit the document exactly. 


And this is what I ended up with. Not bad eh! I'm wondering what the customs officers will think of it.They probably won't approve at all.
