Dice bags from The Gamer's Bag(TM): Now with New Materials!
- Thread starter Paladin
- Start date
Couple of ideas:
- I bought a plain belt pouch made from *very* thick leather at a Rennaissance faire. Very organic and "authentic" looking (rather than looking like a dice bag). Because of the thickness of the leather, the draw cord is just looped through simple slits in the leather. No grommets,
no little tube to run the cord through.
- I would *love* a branded monogram on a leather bag. May need a thicker grade of leather than what you're using though.
- beads: anyone know where to find little skull beads? Maybe something like pixie sized?
That would rock on

The kind of leather you're describing is too thick to machine sew, it has to be hand sewn, increasing the price. We could do it, but, remember this is a dice bag, it doesn't need to be thick - it's kind of overkill. The leather we are using is premium quality suede, and is very nice. It has a finished side and an unfinished side (we've upgraded our stock!) I think we could find skull beads, we've found hundreds of different types. We do have bone colored beads now, no skulls though....Conaill said:Couple of ideas:

Good choice! We like that one a lot. We'll get started right away. We've shipped out two bags to Derek already! I'll contact you on e-mail and confirm your order. Barring calamity, (and assuming that you used PayPal) you should have it by this time next week.Wicht said:Your pictures sold me - I just placed an order for a chaos element royal bag with gold draw strings.
How long should orders take with Derek at the moment? I can be patient but the sooner the better

Looking forward to it!Furn_Darkside said:
Just to let everyone know: the more complex the design you choose, the harder it will be to digitize into the monogramming computer. Our monogrammer therefore prices according to level of complexity. This is represented as a one-time digitization fee. However, any subsequent monograms for your special design will only be priced according to stitch count, which is only about $1.00 per thousand stitches (approximately).
For instance, a stylized version of your initials (like Katerek's TC Lightning Bolt mentioned above) isn't very complex and can be done for around $10.00, including stitching. If you want something like a 3-D Celtic knot design that is multi-layered, multi-colored, etc, that will cost considerably more. If you have any questions, post here or e-mail me and just ask!
Note to companies: we do give bulk discounts (and as I mentioned, after the one-time digitization fee, everyone only pays for stitching).

Well, you get what you pay for! 
Out of curiosity- is it possible to get some small stitching done on the inside edge of the bad? Along the lines of the name & email of the owner of the bag?
Heh, I know- probably a silly idea.

Yes, we can do that. I'll have to find out how exactly how small our monogrammer can do it, but we should be able to do both if you want. We can also put your whole name on the outside (1/2" lettering) too. Or, we could sew a tag with that info on it into the bag, if you like. The options would be for the Royal sized bag, I don't know about the smaller bags, there wouldn't be enough room.Furn_Darkside said:Well, you get what you pay for!
