Bargercompascuum Drawstring Pouch

[Martin Moser]

Hi Alex,

here is how I do the braiding. Note that I have changed that since I first made and posted this pouch, what I used first was a kind of knot, similar to knitting. I felt that that wasn't really like what it should have been and have changed it accordingly.
You need two straps of leather, about 6mm broad in my case, one of which is the end of the drawstring. Insert 6-8mm cuts them lengthwise, then braid the two, always pulling the upper one through the next slit of the lower one. The ends go into the oval of doubled leather where they can be tied togehter. Hopefully the pics make it clear - if not, let me know, please!
