Oh wow!! Looks great! I think it would look great even with the triforce uncolored. But either way this is totally sweet!

How cool! And then you could make a giant rupee sticker for your DS...

I think doing the triforce in yellow/gold might work nicely. Or even uncolored.

The idea of having a rupee sticker on my DS just made me squeak happily~!

+1 on triforce in yellow/gold / uncolored
or a brown coloured one, like all the same shade, maybe even embossed in or stuck on to give texture.
It's such a cute but handy thing, did you make like loop or a hole for it to attach to any belt or is it just attached to one for good?

I tried some experiments to see if I could make it pop more (by stamping down the leather around the pattern on a scrap piece) but nothing looked really good to me. Maybe I'll take a picture of my experiment to get some more feedback. I do like the idea of sticking it on, though. I'll have to look into the durability of that!!

There are actually two parallel slits cut out of the back so it can be slid onto any belt, provided the belt is narrow enough. The belt it's on right now is the widest I have at around 1.5" and there's still some wiggle room.

yeah that would be a good idea. I'd love to make one for myself but just like a normal pouch for my bag not for my belt (I hardly wear em)
I just did a quick google for "Leather Triforce" and some nice images came up if you haven't looked. It's hard to find an example of a stuck on one, but I guess this might be the best, it's kinda raised but it's a different material

Oh wow, yeah! Thanks for the suggestion! You can sew two pieces of leather together fairly easily if you've got all the supplies to do it, so that's another really good option. I'm also looking at some of these that push the triforce itself in, sort of create an optical illusion... Hm. Might have to play with some of my scraps this week...

I think the beauty of this pouch pattern is that if you don't cut the slits in the back, you can use it just as easily as a case.

I'm not a fan of most leather products, but this is pretty spiffy
Great job!
