Looking For Info On Wine Skins

Recommended Posts

Hello fellow crafters!

I was recently asked about making a custom wineskin for a friend's sister... and I'm coming up blank! If anyone has any experience making them, mainly how to make it waterproof, or some sort of liner, I'd be very thankful. :helpsmilie:

The authentic skins use a pig bladder (Hope she's not Muslim) :

You may want to look at the construction of a bag pipe bag, which is usually made air tight with sheep's lanolin. I have a prototype made in Ireland some years ago with the liner made from upholstery vinyl and sealed with silicone. Not sure that would be safe.

If it were me, I'd probably buy a wine skin off the shelf and make a new cover.

Cya!

Bob

Thanks BDAZ, I'd like to find the parts, in case others like what I come up with, but your idea of a new cover may wind up being my choice... but I still have time to research

Any idea where to get a pig bladder?
