DIY: Leather Pouches for Kids

These leather pouches are designed with littles in mind and can be finished without the use of a sewing machine. It would also be really easy to substitute leather with felted wool or vinyl - anything with a bit of sturdiness to it.

Materials:

• One cut of leather, felted wool, or vinyl measuring about 8" x 18" (per pouch) 
• small pieces of contrasting scrap leather for details 
• three strips of fabric measuring about 2" x 42" 
• waxed linen cord 
• a needle made for leather work 
• an awl 
• a cutting mat 
• sharp scissors 
• x-acto knife
