A cost effective remake of a day sporran

[Shinenotburn]

This was a cheap rework of a daysporrn I bought on Ebay for $15.00 plus shipping. (from the middle east)
The shape was correct and I can't build a sporran like that for $15. So why not just add some more quality on?
I used some scrap leather to reface the base and flap , leaving some original material showing for contrast and to add dimension. The braidwork is from a woven belt, bought from the Salvation Army for $3.00. I cut the area I wanted to use and stitched and glued it into place then added a flap to secure the braidework at the top.
Finally I sewed a lovely horn button I had onto the flap , through the snap top closure to finish off the flap.

I think this is a rather nice distinctive day sporran for probably less than $25.
Plus, I still have most of the belt left which I will be using in another sporran project in the future.
