Well, there is indeed a proper way to do it.

Hahaha! Quite right, mate.
You must be referring to the smaller mink and polecat sporrans that Kate offers, which are indeed the appropriate size ratio for a child. I do agree, unless of course the wee lad has been continuously exposed to such sporrans. For example, His Grace the Duke of Argyll's two boys, my Chief's (Sir William Macpherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie) grandson, who wears a full mask sporran made from a Scottish Wildcat at our annual gathering in Badenoch, Cameron of Lochiel's son, etc. However, sporrans in such Highland families as I described, are more than likely passed down from one generation to the next without it being necessary to go out and buy a new one. 
Cheers,

Oh my goodness! Maybe if your nice and specify what your looking for exactaly they might be as good as Bonsai Pottery was to me in my custom boar sporran. See pic.....but keep in mind....I root for the underdog a lot, and was feeling nothing ventured nothing gained....I think that many folks don't fully understand what the sporran truly is to some of us and what we expect from them and how to properly make them....Anyhow....here is my Boar sporran....I hope the pic isn't too fuzzy.

Poor cat looks equally surprised at how he ended up! Actually criminal to see an animal dying for that! Some one should make a full mask of whomever created that.

Full face sporrans are not to my taste, but in all fairness, Kate Macpherson makes her sporrans from road kill, not animals specifically killed for this art.
