Custom Leather Sporran Strap
Not bad for a first attempt I guess. I wanted to keep this one simple to replace the standard chain that comes with the Buzz Kidder Rob Roy from USA Kilts. I took a 1.75" $11.00 walmart belt, ripped it in half and stitched the ends around a couple of lobster claw clips. I matched my stitching to the original belt which I wear as a kilt belt so they appear similar. I need to get some beeswax to seal and finish the cut edge but smearing black leather die on the edge has concealed the cut pretty well. I used lobster claw clips from Home Depot for the sake of ease. I can get them cheaper off the web.
I debated about putting a adjusting slide or buckel on it but opted not to for the first attempt. I've got the other half left over so maybe on the next one I'll get a bit more detailed.
