Tusken Raider Bandolier Tips

These pouches can be made from either vinyl or leather. Leather will involve a little more work but it will look a little more realistic in the end. Leather and leather products can be purchased online from Tandy Leather.

The instructions given here will be for leather. If you're using vinyl, skip the parts pertaining to: dyeing, burnishing and sealing.

Begin by drawing the pattern shown to the right onto a piece of heavy paper or posterboard.

Then, buy a large bolt of leather. You'll be making between eight and ten pouches so make sure you buy enough material. Take your pattern with you when you go to buy your leather!

Chose a thickness that is fairly lightweight but not so thin that it won't hold up during construction and use.
