Dennis Oakley Report post Posted April 23, 2013 Here are a few more dice cups I made, two smaller ones and a larger one. I put a lighter in the picture for scale. I'm getting better but still have a long way to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H factor Report post Posted April 23, 2013 I like em guy! How do you attatch the bottom of the cups? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WScott Report post Posted April 23, 2013 There is a great write up on making dice cups and such in Al Stohlman's The Art of Hand Sewing Leather book http://www.tandyleatherfactory.ca/en-cad/61944-00.aspx?countryid=998 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Oakley Report post Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. The cups are made of 8/9 oz leather. The bottom is a disc that is larger than the diameter of the cup which is wet-formed and put into the cup while wet. Once it dries I hand stitch around the bottom to hold it in. A second disc of leather goes inside the cup to form a flat bottom over the wet-formed piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

humperdingle Report post Posted April 24, 2013 Hi, I quite fancy making something similar for holding pencils etc... Could you possibly put up a pic of the seam, please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Oakley Report post Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks. If you subscribe to the Tandy Leathercraft Library there's a two part video that shows how to make them. Tomorrow night I'll put up some detail pictures, the pattern, and some instructions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
