what do you use for carrying your lenormand cards? pouch, bag, clothes

blue_fusion

Yesterday when I was at Walmart, I found a little plastic box with snap closures on each end that just perfectly hold my Mystical and Gilede Reverie both. I got it so I can carry my small Lenormands in my purse if I go somewhere. It was only 98 cents or something cheap like that.

Those are pretty handy. And much better than the other plastic casing available for playing card sized decks - the two-part lidded one where the base always slips off the lid and you need a rubber band just to keep top and bottom together. You got them pretty cheap too. My decks' printers sell them for I think a little over $2.

Do post pics of your beaded boxes. I for one am curious as to how they look. :)

Padded zip bags/pouches seem to be popular nowadays. They're very handy to put in bags, etc., and the padding helps protect the deck.

I make decorative cardboard boxes for my tarot decks and I am planning to set aside one weekend to make one for my non-tarot ones. I'm going to modify some of the designs I have made in the past (like the attached sample. The size is great for a bridge sized deck but I might need to make it slightly wider for a poker-sized one).

hi, the decorative cardboard boxes looks nice! i use tarot bags for my tarot cards.

the dreaming way deck came with the box, I'm thinking maybe i can do decorate the box or tin.

thank-you.

I use a cute little zippered pouch with my Lenormand deck that I carry with me. They come in different sizes to fit different sized decks and they sell for under $5 for this size. :)

As snowmoon mentioned, cosmetic bags work very nice also.

hi, thank-you for sharing your pouch photography,

i like to use zippered pouched. it is easy to open and close.

thank-you.

The little boxes blue fusion makes are beautiful. They look very sturdy, too. And I like that the finish almost looks like laquer and is protective of the painting.

I make beaded felt boxes for some of my decks. I guess I should post a photo of those, but I don't know if anyone else here beads and would be interested.

hi, i would be interested.

thank-you.

Like Nemia, I do my own bags as well. I only have one made for my TdM so far, but the lenormand one is still on the planing stages. I'm thinking to make some colorwork (fair isle) on the bag, or maybe use some fabric that I have, dye it to make it look older and embroider some flowers on it.

This is the pouch I made last month for the tarot:

I can crochet as well and Nemia gave me some lovely ideas for it, so thank you Nemia!
