Sporran backs

[Squeaky McMurdo]

Would some of you be so kind as to post a picture of the back of your sporrans?

I've made a few sporrans but I've just made wild guesses as to how to attach them to a belt. Now that I know there's supposed to be a D ring back there, I figure I'll update them.

Much appreciated.

Here's a start. (pay attention, there will be a test)
Short leather strap (A) with D rings on both ends slides under loop on back of sporran B.

I simply do this...

Squeaky, though the D-rings on a small strap are how you attach a chain strap and some leather straps to the sporran, here's a small suggestion. When you make the keeper or loop on the back of the sporran, make it big enough for a regular, men's 3/4" dress belt to snuggly fit through.
You might not want to use chains all of the time. That way, you can just use a regular dress belt for day wear, and save your chains for dressing up.

Here's another option. You can remove the D-strap and slide a continuous sporran belt thru the tab.

Goody! I just ordered a used sporran and the strap loops are missing. Perfect timing on this tread.

I made one sporran that hangs from my waist belt- (I will post pics later) does anyone have a picture of the back of the hanging sporrans that are here http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/sporran_fb.html
