Dice Bags

Dice bags are useful for preventing the loss of dice, keeping them organized, protecting valuable dice, and to be the ultimate dice goblin. They are particularly handy for players who attend events or play outside their home​​.

When choosing a dice bag, consider the design, size, closure type, and material. Bags come in various designs and sizes, with most using a drawstring closure. Materials like satin and velvet are recommended for protecting valuable dice​​.

Dice bags are traditionally made from cloth or fabric, which is affordable and protects the dice from scuffs and scratches. Velvet bags with soft satin linings are common. Leather, faux leather, and even anodized aluminum (used in chain mail bags) are other popular materials. Anodized aluminum, despite being metal, is smooth and effectively protects the dice. The choice of material can affect both the price and the style of the bag​​.

While not a necessity, dice bags are a practical and stylish solution for storing and transporting dnd dice. They're especially useful as your collection grows. For small collections, dice can be kept in the original plastic box or organza bag, but larger collections may require better solutions. Alternatives to dice bags include Tupperware containers, bead organizers, or dice boxes. Ultimately, the choice of using a dice bag is a matter of personal preference and convenience​​.

1. Choose Your Material: Select a fabric like cotton, velvet, or leather. Consider the texture and durability of the material.
2. Cut the Fabric: Determine the size of your bag and cut two pieces of fabric to this size. A standard size could be around 8x8 inches for each piece, but you can adjust based on your preference.
3. Sew the Sides: Place the two pieces of fabric together, right sides facing each other. Sew along the edges, leaving the top open. Leave a small gap in one of the seams for turning the bag right side out.
4. Create a Channel for the Drawstring: Fold the top edge down to create a channel for the drawstring. Sew around, making sure the channel is wide enough for your drawstring.
5. Turn the Bag Right Side Out: Use the gap you left in the seam to turn the bag right side out.
6. Add the Drawstring: Use a safety pin to thread a ribbon, cord, or leather string through the channel. Once threaded, tie the ends of the drawstring together.
7. Optional Customizations: Add pockets, embroidery, or other decorative elements to personalize your dice bag.
