You should have two equal folds and overlap at the top.

Fold the first two pieces in horizontal zigzag folds (like an accordion) and set them aside.

Now take the third piece and draw a rectangle across the breadth of the paper.

Draw a slightly wider rectangle keeping one side rounded as shown in the picture.

Glue these to the insides of the first sheet (yellow in this case).

Repeat it on both sides and let the glue dry.

Take the cutouts you had set aside and glue the rounded rectangle to the center of the overlap.

The rounded side should be facing downwards after folding the flap.

Take the other rectangle and attach it to the front side of the wallet in the middle.
