Formal Sporran Chains

[Arlen]

Ever see those fancy sporran chains and decide you want one for formal events but don't want to shell out a fortune?
I saw this one in a local kilt shop for 50 pounds: (JUST FOR THE CHAIN!)


I saw this on Ebay for 3 pounds:



And I already have a spare one of these:


The plan is to merge the two and see if I can make my own fancy sporran chain for a nice, low price.


I'll post pictures when I'm done.

That is a great idea Arlen, I was thinking about buying a dress chain, however the prices are a bit overwhelming for just a chain. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I may just go to a pet store and check out the dog collars.

“Dollar” and “Five Dollar” Stores and Thrift stores often have jewelry/chains that might be adaptable.

As a bit of an update, the ladies chain belt I got on ebay looks to be working out great.
I also jokingly considered this:


And I am also considering these:



I think the square shape in these ones may look better.

As it is, all of the belts together cost less than 10 pounds and I am sure I will get at least one very nice, formal sporran chain from them all.

Well good luck and keep us posted on the results.

Add a little bling* in the form of an anchor chain

In gold.



In silver.

those Scottie dogs are sorta cute. I'm not sure if they're very formal or not...but they might look kinda cool on a younger person's outfit.

I'd stay away from anything with sharp corners or edges.

I have one with skulls that I used before I got my strap. I don't think it would fly as formal though.
