    Modular Sporran

    I built this sporran with a velcro flap so i could switch from a full leather flap to a dressier rabbit fur flap. I made the tassels fromlace wound tight around two large nains secured in a vice 4 inches apart. i bound them with leather cord, and just cut the opposite end to remove them from the nail. I wound the frayed end with thread for a few days then cut the ends even.

    The Sporran chain comes from the local Hot Topic store in the mall $9.00 wallet chain.

    Very clever approach. You can do a lot with that idea. Thank heavens for velcro.
