My DIY sporran, the mex-sporran

[McJore]

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.

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.
