I made a leather sporran belt.

A very fine-looking strap. What type of leather did you use?

It was some pre-dyed strap from Tandy leather. It is cow leather and it is vegetable tanned, but that is all I know. It was 1" wide. I asked the cleark if he could cut it down to 3/4" as the 1" looked way to wide. I got an edging tool to curve the edges, then I got edge dressing and a burnisher to smooth the edges. I bought all parts at Tandy, "d" rings, buckle, brass clips and hammer together rivets, along with the rivet setting tool. I could have almost bought a nice belt for what I spent, but I have been wanting to try my hand at leather work for some time now.

Looks good.

Another option for those who don't like the chain, just take a long thin belt (about 1/2-3/4 inch) and run it through the slot in the back of the sporran. You don't have to deal with the snaps and rings that way.
