So im thinking of making a custom Dice bag. Not sure on what it will be.
The thing is, Im not good with sewing, So I would like to use glue, If sewing is the only good option I can probably do it.
So what i ask of you Dakka, Is wht glue and fabric do I use?

I'm affraid sewing would be your best option, IMHO.

Well, I did leanr to sew a bit. and it isnt that hard.

try making a paracord pouch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fTojejyXk8

It's for a 'phone' but you can do it for dice.

There's another pattern but less detailed manual, you can use that for dice if you think the other weave is too loose.

This is a tad more time consuming, a bit rough on the fingers, but so worth it:

I just use a crown royal bag.

What im looking for is making a custom Puch with my white scars symbol on it, so those pouches wont work.
Dice bags arent a problem, what i want is a personalized one.

If it's rough on your fingers, you're doing it wrong. Did you not use pliers, or something?

If you aren't up to the sewing (or, at least, it isn't really worth your while in terms of effort vs. quality), you could "outsource" the basic production and focus on customization. Michaels (and others, I'm sure) carries simple, white cloth pouches of an appropriate size (6" wide, 8" high, with a woven synthetic drawstring) for a reasonable price (can't recall, exactly, but they couldn't have been more than $3 a piece). They would readily take dye for overall re-coloring and/or paint for adding logos, etc. It'd be simple to pick up a roll of leather lacing and swap out the drawstrings for something more ruggedly atmospheric, too. I find the coarse, slightly irregular weave to add to the appearance, especially if taking them in a grimdark/fantasy direction, but it also makes it easy to push open holes (much stronger if you don't cut any threads) if you want to anchor rigid embellishments with pins, add grommets, etc. I picked one up for just such a project, although the exact direction I take is still up in the air.

[edit] If you're looking to do White Scars, it's already colored for you! Just paint on your army's logo and you're good to go. Adding some dangling tribal doodads and a leather drawstring would just be icing on the cake.

Make and then print out templates, then spray can the design with a piece of paper in the middle of the pouch? It'd work on the ring one due to their constant position relative to one another, the paracord ones maybe not.

Lol, I said only a tad, and that's if you're not used to it. Of course I used pliers

Another idea would be to get a plain-jane pouch and use an iron-on design of your army. Get out to the store, get some iron-on transfer paper for your printer, print out your design on it, iron it on, and bingo-presto!

The Iron On sounds the most intelligent and useful.
What kind of fabric should i use?

I would think any typical cotton or polyester would be fine. If you want something a bit more sturdy, a heavy linen or even a denim would work.

More sturdy still would be burlap, but I'm not sure how it would take an iron-on.

Ok, Another Question, LEts say I make Dice Bags using an armies symbol and i sell them on ebay, Would that get me in trouble with the creators?
Because Buying the bags in bulk seem like the best, and i may be able to make some money selling custom army(or MLP bags) on ebay to fuel my Model addiction.

Yeah... I'd probably avoid that.

Another place to check for this type of thing would be Etsy.com. Lots of crafty people being crafty.

Why would it be a bad idea? Its not like they make any of those products themselves.

GW owns the rights to the names and logos. They'd smack you around with a lawsuit quicker than you could crap a terminator doing a jig.

I see people doing that on the site you mentioned right now.

Feel free to do as you wish, but do so at your own risk.

I wouldn't, but that's a different story.
Good luck, hopefully your results match your goals

Maybe i will just sell them to friends. Ill just make MLP bags and sell them online.

I know you want to make it yourself, but if you're not up for the sewing and really want one handmade, you might check this guy:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/479089.page

He may (or may not) be willing to make you a White Scars bag. He actually has an Inquisition bag I was looking at myself.

Well I forgot my Aunt actually has a working sewing machine and is will to teach me the basics.

Step 1: Buy a bottle of Crown Royal.
Step 2: Consume contents of said bottle (preferably split amongst friends, otherwise this should take more than one sitting).
Step 3: Use frilly purple bag for dice.
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit.

Actually, you can get a bottle of Crown Royal Black, which, aside from being as good as, maybe even better than regular Crown Royal, nets you a black bag.

Actually, don't do that. That way my bag is even more exclusive.

I made my dice bag from the scrotum of my enemy after defeating him in mortal combat.

meh, probaly too small, i'd just sew together the scotums of several slain foes!
or use the skull of a slain enemy

The answer is obvious!

Devote yourself to the Ruinous Powers undivided, join a Word Bearers cult, cut a piece of your skin off, and sow it into a bag (I've found that using templates for a hackeysack gives the best results)

Oooh, my vote is for the self-flayed piece of flesh. I mean, c'mon, it's pretty much the only way to completely make your own bag.

Epic....

If you don't want to sew, look into the printable iron on transfers...but be warned, they don't hold up long.

If your logo is basic, you can make a template and paint it on using fabric paints.
