McJore,

Great work!

I am so enjoying your enthusiasm about your new kilted life.

ok, so i kind of gut stuck here, the button i was going to use is a clip on( i think), but i couldn't put it on so right now i have to ideas, one is to make a leather button and make a strap on the flap of the sporran so i can close it, the other idea is to put a regular button and cut an eyelet on the flap of the sporran so it closes, any suggestions are welcome

You could use magnets to keep it closed.

and heres the front, I stil need to find a way to close it, and maybe put some tassels im not sure any ideas are welcome

I usually take my tassles off, I'm not Scottish and I see them as being just that. There are many plain daywear sporrans. Do a quick search on ebay to get some ideas.

Then perhaps a pewter celtic notion. for example:


Here is a page I pulled off of ebay for further examples

That looks great! It's simple, but what's wrong with simple? I like it....Good job!
