Who are you? What do you treasure? Make a leather pouch by sewing pieces of leather together and then embellish them with painted designs, beads, fringe, metal and feathers. Then add a cord to wear your pouch in style!
Throughout history, many cultures have had different types of pouches, whether it’s Native American medicine bags, Cowboy saddle bags, Scottish sporrans (waist pouch), French paniers (basket), purses, or wallets. Pouches can represent a container for what we treasure. These special items often include coins, tinder for fire, sacred objects, seeds, herbs, pine cones, rocks, tobacco, bones, teeth, rattles, stones, animal fur, locks of hair, photos, etc. Certain items would be kept for protection, good luck, healing or hunting.
