Once you've found the Tarot deck that's right for you, it's a real treat to have something special to keep them in. Sure, you could leave them in the original box, but many people prefer to use a drawstring pouch. You can sew one in just a few minutes with supplies you probably have laying around the house.
You'll need:
- A piece of fabric in the pattern of your choice, about 12 - 14" long by about 6" wide
- Two lengths of ribbon, cut to about 12" each
- 4 - 6 beads with holes large enough for the ribbon to pass through
The first step is to press down about an inch of material on each of the short sides of the fabric. This will create the tunnels that your drawstrings run through. Fold the raw edge towards the wrong side of the fabric, and stitch with a seam allowance of about 5/8" (see Figure 1).
