I like your flasks Hobbihorse, where do you get the blanks in different sizes?

[hobbihorse]

Hi Lori, I measured the height and circumference of the flasks and used that measurement to cut the leather, then trimmed it up to fit. If I cut to short to join the edges in back, I would cut a strip of leather and stitch both sides to fill in the gap (like I did on the back of one of my pictured flaskes http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?app=gallery&user=43733 with the name "Rose" down the strip).

That's a great idea for coming up short! I bought a couple of flasks to practice on from walmart, but the size looks different from yours, would you mind sharing where you bought yours? I like the small size particularly

HaHa...I got my 6oz flasks from Walmart as well. I purchased the 4oz flasks that are also pictured on ebay, though I don't remember the vendor. They cost a little more than the Walmart flasks, but are a better quality. There are several venders to choose from.

Thanks, I'll check it out

In my town's Walmart, I found the 6oz flasks hanging on a merchandizing strip down the alcohol aisle. Very inexpensive.

Thanks for reminding me where they're at, it was a long time ago that I bought it
