Tips & Warnings
Spend some time looking for different materials for the outside of your dice cup. If available, recycle a larger piece of leather or suede from old clothes such as a coat, skirt or jacket.
Hemp woven place mats or any other material that is bendable works well to cover a dice cup. If you look hard enough you may even find a dice pattern.
