DIY Full Mask Fox Sporran

[Nathan]

So I found a fox wrap in a local thrift store and thought it would be a fun DIY project to convert my old DND sporran into a full mask sporran. I've had some success but I'm wondering the following.

1) What is the best method to affix the pelt to the leather. The spray adhesive I used didn't really do the trick and I don't have leather working tools to sew it on. It's wearable, but I don't think it will hold in the long term. I could do trial and error with various other glues, but I thought I'd ask the rabble.

2) These eyes are cheap and creepy looking. I'm considering going sans eyes to give it a look like the eyes are closed. Does anyone have an inexpensive source on better looking eyes that would fit? I've seen pairs for like $20 bucks locally but they aren't even ideal and I'm really trying to avoid cost creep.

Let me know your thoughts!

Sorry I can't help.

I can't help with the glue I think it would look fine without the eyes -- perhaps even better.

I don't have the equipment to sew easily on leather and have done very well with glue. Unfortunately, I just threw away the tube I used on my fox sporran and don't remember the name. It was purchased at a crafts shop such as Hobby Lobby or Michaels from their leather working section. I use a number of small clamps to secure the edges.

Thanks to both of you.

Colin, I agree, it might look better without the eyes. The fur is quite nice.
