Leather belt pouch

[greensurfingbear]

finished making my first ever belt pouch last night. Not happy with it 100% as it was made from left overs so the flap had to be made from a few sections rather than one long piece. Anyway here are some pictures...

Learnt a few leather crafting lessons which is important, also learnt its hard to photograph your own hip.


Sent via mind bullets, beware the ricochet.

Yeah hip photographing is an art on it own ^^, and really like the pouch, one hell of a way to use some scraps. Seems like one beefy sucker ^^

nice job Orric, i think the segmented flap works rather well and i bet it gives you more purchase tae pop it open

Thanks guys compliments are certainly appreciated.

The back and front are 4mm thick. with the bottom and side bit being 2mm. I wreaked a few pop rivets and snapped a couple of needles in the making.

I got a box of left over leather from a mate that used to make costumes for live action roleplay. Most of it is really thin soft stuff, properly going to make draw string bags with it.

The thick leather I used for this pouch was about A4 in size, hence having to make the segments for the lid.

I fancy decorating it some how with runes or steam punk inspired pattern......
