The semi-dress and the casual sporrans that I have both use a button-snap closure that I hate. I can never get the snap closed unless the sporran is full.

I've seen some discussion about magnetic closures, but I wonder about a magnetic field that close to my credit cards. Has anyone had a bad experience with this?

Another option is velcro, but it isn't my favorite material either.

I know there are other sporrans out there with a loop and button combination. I just bought a small belt pouch at a Ren Fair like event. I'm thinking of using it as a model for a self-made sporran. I've done some leather carving and stamping in the past and I think I could handle a celtic design.

Has anyone tried to convert a button-snap closure to something better?
