I made a leather sporran belt.
This is the first leather work I have ever done. I did not like the chain/belt that came with my sporran. Here is what I came up with.

Looks great!
One thing you might do, it appears the inside is a bit "fuzzy". You can take a damp rag and wipe the fuzzy fibers in one direction to help them lay down. Using something smooth to slick them down after wetting them will do a better job.
This will lessen any friction between your strap and kilt. The smoother, the better. The silver rivets and black leather look great though!

Thanks for the help, I will try that. I guess bad lighting in the pic, because the rivets are brass.

It could be my monitor also  now that you say it though, I do see a gold tint to the metal.

Agree with Cavscout, very nice work! You have a lot of skill.
Good to see another leatherworker out there too!

I don't like my chain either. Guess I'll have to try making one too. Thanks for the inspiration.

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