Tiny Leather Pouch

Miniature leather sacks, like this cute Tiny Leather Pouch, are extremely useful for gifting or even storing small items such as necklaces, earrings or rings. They can even help the tooth fairy with delivering a golden coin or two, in exchange for a pearly white!  This is a fun and easy craft that can be done by kids and adults alike.  Add a few beads to give it a sweet touch.

Materials:

• Fuse Creativity System Starter Set®
• Three-piece Eyelet Setter Set
• Beads to decorate the thread
• Cotton thread or twine
• Eyelets
• Leather scraps

Instructions:

1. Use the Scalloped Circle Design Set and cut the shape from leather scraps.
   
   
    
2. Use your eyelet setter to punch small, evenly spaced holes around the outside of the leather shape.
   
   
    
3. Next, set eyelets into the holes. This step is optional but it does create a lovely finish.
   
   
    
4. Thread cotton thread or twine through the holes, leaving the two ends long enough to thread on some beads.
   
   
    
5. Threading beads onto the ends of the twine will make the pouch easier to close and will prevent knotting.
   
   
    
6. To close your pouches, simply pull on the drawstring and push the beads up the string. Wrap the excess ends around the top of the pouch and tuck them under the drawstring to secure.
