Shaped leather pouch mini-tutorial
Feb 22^nd, 2009 at 3:26pm

I was just making one of these and decided to take a few pics for a mini-tutorial.

This design is very simple to make and creates a cupped pouch that holds ammo securely.

Start with a rectangular strip of leather that is slightly narrower than your chosen ammo and long enough to wrap half way around it with enough to spare for attaching.

Cut the pouch from each end towards the center. Leave about a third of the length uncut in the center. Use a leather punch to make the holes. The hole in the centre allows stretching and adds a lot to the final roundness of the shape.

The finger loop is done with a perfection knot and the release knot is Ashleys stopper knot.

This one looks like a fine destination for the leather. I measured it and it's a 32X15cm piece of good, but somewhat thin, leather. Folding it seems like a good idea.

I know it was C_A that got me into the noose attachment and I think I got the pouch from a photo of Dork's ages ago.

How do you stop the cords from coming loose at the pouch? Once you have looped them they seem like without tension they would loosen up. Or did I miss a step in your tutorial? Jae
