The dice tower bag

I need a way to protect the dice tower

A small red pouch stuffed with something rectangular, made up of lots of thin little strips of a red, velvety fabric, laying on a wooden surface.

One side of the pouch, with lots of mainly horozontal thin strips of red fabric sewn together, a handful of vertical strips, and an even smaller handful of larger patches less than an inch across at the largest.

The bag turned inside out, showing vivid stitch lines running in all kinds of horozontal and vertical lines, also showing the opposite side of the bag from the first photo, which to be fair is difficult to tell because it's all just random horozontal and vertical strips of fabric.

A photo of the pouch, and the blue, painted dice tower box that is nearly identical in size and shape but slightly smaller, in front of the opening of the bag.

The pouch now filled with the box, and the drawstring pulled closed. The bag isn't bulging per-se, but is snugly filled with the box tucked inside.

So, I made a dice tower, with intricate painting on the outside surfaces of it. OOHHHH, it came out good, SO proud!

I don't want it to get scratched!

Ok, ok, we got this. I kinda put it in and around a few different little sacks, a spare from the bags of tricks, random others that turned up, didn't like any of them. It's going to be sitting with the Harrow Deck of Many Things, it needs to be... clear, or matching or something. And I didn't want a ziplock bag, that plastic would probably stick to the enamel. I tried the patch bag, but that was too big. But then I'd remembered... oh hey, I made this sleeve thing at about the same time, also out of scraps from the harrow bag(s). I didn't have a use for it, it was just using the rest of the scraps. It was originally just a flat sheet, because eh, maybe I'll frame it or something. Then I connected the sides to make a sleeve, because boredom. And then I rediscovered it for this, and how the dice tower box fit *just perfectly* inside of it!

Oh, you didn't have to ask me twice, I got right on sewing up one of the sides of it (putting the bigger patches towards the bottom just because eh... seemed better than at the top), and happened to have this red string around from some OTHER pouch for which the fabric was gone but the string remained, not sure where or from what. But it was around, and it matched pretty perfectly, so we made a simple four holes in the top of this now-pouch (no cutting involved for strength, just pushing a toothpick through the fabric and then looping around the opening with thread to keep the hole open), and that makes it easily openable, easily removable, it works pretty good. So thank you, scrap fabric turned scrap wrap turned scrap bag! In the end, despite being a project of pure boredom, you have come through as the perfect solution for this :D
