I have just finished crocheting a bag for my PDR deck, and I'm beyond thrilled with how it turned out! First of all, it had to be purple, so I would want to touch it every day.
Secondly, buttons and corded ties were somehow not girly enough for this particular bag, so I had the idea to use ribbon for the tie. It stays put horizontally due to the way I weaved it in.
Next, I wanted it to be multi-functional, since this is a deck I intend to use every day for a year.
So I made the flap long enough to lay out five cards, so it also serves as a spread cloth.
I'm pleased as punch with the results!
I feel like my deck affair has properly begun, with the giving of gifts!

How cool! I love this.
I love the blog, too. I like how it's similar to the look of your other blog but not exactly.
Your deck has a cozy home!
That is by far one of the coolest, homiest tarot bag I have ever seen. I love how you have extened it to allow for room for a reading and the way it wraps around to tie up as well.
I love your deck choice too. I like the colors nd it just seems to have a smoothe feel to it. I will be getting a copy before too long!

Thanks so much!!
Oh how cool!!! Like a basic scarp with a little something extra! LOVE it... now only if I could crochet!
I love this! It's so neat.
What a stunning crochet bag! I planned on making a similar one that I could fold out for a 3 card spread, but I didn't this week (even though I was off from work). I'll make it a project for one of the train rides home ;).
And purple makes it even better.
Cheers, Nicole
Very cool. I can't wait to see what color combos and future designs of your tarot bag you come up with.
This is beautiful, Kiki.
I love this bag! And very clever working it into a spread cloth as well! It's a good thing my ToD isn't next to me right now, there would no doubt be some jealous pouting!
Wow, thanks everyone! As soon as I can get some more materials together, I intend on making some more bags and putting them up for adoption! Stay tuned! :)
Kiki, you've inspired me! I'm taking a break from crocheting an afghan to create a home for my PDR deck! What a wonderful idea.

I just wanted to stop by to say thank you for this terrific deck bag idea! I've adapted your idea to a knitting pattern that I can use. The deck you are using for your PDR is beautiful, by the way. Good luck!
