I prefer to teach my kids more about the history and how to appreciate the things they have. Making his own will make sure he fully understands how special the piece is.

Welcome from Laurens, SC. Hope you enjoy your stay.
Welcome to the world-wide community from Germany.
I've made 3 sporrans so far. One of the pleasures of making your own is adapting designs to the materials you have available and your skill level.
It can be expensive to get the equipment/tools, and I consider the first 3 to be practice. But it is enjoyable.
It certainly helped me to have a bought sporran to look at and measure for the first one. MacWage probably could help you there. I posted some pictures of the ones I did.
Enjoy the project. Maybe there's a merit badge in there somewhere for the young man.
