When at the thrift shops look at the leather jacket/coats. some times you can find a leather jacket for a few dollars that can be a good source of leather.
From the looks of you size in the picture you might be able to turn the leather strap from a womans purse/hand bag into a sporran strap.
Just remember, that what something is - is not what it is - it is just a source for your imagination to find another use for.

mmmmmmm
Thank you Master Yoda.
Good advise for reusing the old.
I might have the skill for making my own sporran, but I'll stick to buying them. For some reason I truly appreciate the workmanship and craft that goes into a handmade leather sporran. More so than the satisfaction I would gain from making my own. I salute those of you that have the patience and skill.
Side Note: The blacksmithing group I help is really into reusing things. They are making me a Sgian Dugh from a horseshoe. I'll post pics when it's done.
