I love the texture or cork! So I tried to experiment with different materials to make a round bag with cork sides. The result is a functional small bag that looks... Well.. Wierd! I guess it's visually interesting, and it has definetly been fun to make. What would have you made differently? Looking for inputs about this!
For those asking where to find tools:
I bought mine some years ago when I was starting to make leather sheaths. I went for the cheapest I was able to find. Have been working great so far! Can't find exactly the one I have but I listed some in my amazon storefront that are pretty much the same and any similar ones will work aswell.
