It’s the same size on the inside as it is on

the outside.

When full of polyhedral gaming dice, you

can use it to do 1d4 bludgeoning damage
- but your target might laugh if you hit
them with a hand knit dice bag...

The Story

My husband recently got into D&D, and while shopping for for the holidays I asked him
what was on his wishlist.

“Some new dice would be great! Maybe something to put them in!”

Since he’s still carrying his single set of dice in a ratty eyeglass pouch I sewed with leftover
fabric scraps, it seemed like a good time to replace and upgrade. I based this design on the
travel pouch I use for my makeup - dump your dice and miniatures in the center, cinch it
up, and you’re ready to go!
