Foldover Pouches

Small foldover pouches - Approximately 2" x 2". The leather is usually scraps from larger projects, one of the ways I try to reuse as many resources as possible. These are very nice for holding small items like stones, etc. They also make nice little gift bags for small presents, or even a creative engagement ring presentation! The picture above is a sample. Here's what I currently have in stock:

Fur: White rabbit fur with black leather tying string
Leather: 5 golden buckskin, 2 creme deerskin, 1 dark brown deerskin, 1 grey-brown pigskin, 1 red faux leather, 1 purple pigskin, 1 mixed earthtones leather, 1 brown cowhide

Leather $1.00 each, Fur $1.50 each

Cowhide pouch - A piece of red and white hair-on cowhide was made into this 9" x 8" foldover pouch. It has a 34" long braided yarn cord for carrying or hanging. $12.00

Rabbit pouch - I took some grey rabbit fur from an old coat collar and made it into a 6" x 3 1/2" foldover pouch. It has a black and white glass bead on the front flap as decoration, and a 32" black deerskin strap for hanging or wearing. $7.50

Fox fur/deerskin pouch - I made this 8" x 6" foldover pouch with black deerskin as the pouch, and a piece of white fox fur from an old stole as the foldover flap. It fastens shut with a ceramic black button with a small pawprint on it. The pouch has a 23" long deerskin strap. $12.00

Cernunnos pouch - I started with a 9" x 6" green leather foldover pouch. I then decorated the front flap rather elaborately with a patch of brown deerskin, a lovely pewter pendant of Cernunnos copied from the Gundestrup cauldron, and claws from a bobcat, coyote and badger. It has a 50" strap. $35.00

Unicorn pouch - Occasionally I just come up with something that goes outside my usual style. I don't normally do anything resembling fantasy art, but for whatever reason, this pouch decided it had to have a unicorn on it. Not that I'm complaining; I like how it turned out. It measures 10 1/2" x 5" and is made of grey mink fur from an old coat collar. The black leather patch on the foldover flap is 3" x 5 1/2". I painted the unicorn in silver, with a mossy tree behind it in brown, copper, and two shades of green. The pouch has a 25" leather strap. $17.00

Fur/leather pouch - I started with an old gray-colored fox fur collar and gave it a fabric backing. I then made it into an 11" x 11" foldover pouch with a piece of black lambskin from a coat and a 54" leather strap. $20.00

Denim pouch - I made a 6 1/2" x 8' foldover pouch out of denim from an old pair of jeans and decorated it with a faux abalone leaf and a pair of clipon earrings with leaves on them. I restrung a broken faux pearl necklace with a few faux Fimo beads with crescent moons on them to make a 16" handle. $8.50

Rabbit pouch - I lined some brown rabbit fur salvaged from a coat with fabric, and made it into a 10" x 5 1/2" foldover pouch. It closes with a bone button, and the 30" braided cord handle has two bone bead accents. $10.00

Cow hide pouch - I had a scrap of red brindle hair-on cow hide, and made it into a 10 1/2" x 6 1/2" foldover pouch. It has a 43" deerskin handle. $12.00

Rabbit fur pouch - This pouch is made of three different rabbit skins in varying earthtones. It measures 13" x 10" and has a very basic white fabric lining. It has no strings or handles; part of the hide is a little weak, so it's better for holding things on a shelf rather than being carried around. $12.00

Fox beaded pouch - I made a 6 1/2" x 8 1/4" black deerskin pouch with a dyed black fox face as the foldover flap. The front has 7" x 1" strip of blue, green, pearl white and black beadwork on it, and the shoulder strap is woven of blue pigskin and green and white yarn and is 48" long. $33.00

Tree pouch - I made a 4" x 3 1/2" pigskin suede pouch and stitched on a 1 1/2" leather circle. I then painted a tree on it in acrylics. No handles or cords, just a nice little leather storage pouch. $5.00

Rabbit fur pouch - This foldover pouch is made of rabbit fur from a coat. It measures 8" x 8" and has a deerskin strap, as well as a deerskin and bone decoration on the flap. $15.00

Cowhide foldover pouch - I made this out of a piece of red hair-on cowhide. It measures 7 1/2" x 7 1/2", and the front flap is weighted down with an old pendant of a decent weight. The triple hand-braided waxed linen cord is 27" long. This turned out a lot better than I expected! The flap does close more than the scan shows--the lid pressed down on the pouch a bit much. $18.00

Beaded deerskin pouch - 4" x 4 1/2" deerskin pouch w/ 4" x 5/8" earthtones loomed beadwork strip with a subtle woven pattern in it. Foldover style. $6.00

Brown suede leather foldover pouch made from jacket elbow patches. 4 1/2" x 4 1/2", has 3 5/8" x 3/8" red/orange/yellow beaded strip on front and red bone bead clasp. 12" long handle. $5.00
