Mini Rando material links
Due to its small size, the Mini Rando uses very little fabric making pretty cheap to make! There are a few specialized bits you will need, most of which you can get from rockywoods.com. You will have to order a couple bits on amazon or source them locally.
These specific products are my preference and what I like to make my bags out of, but don’t let that limit you! It’s great to get creative with materials, as you can often get cheaper and more unique versions of all these products. Up-cycling old gear is a great way to get hardware, webbing, zippers, fabric, and all sorts of other goodies.
Fabric
The Junk Trunk uses only 1/2 yard of outer fabric and 1/2 yard of lining fabric. My favorite outer material to use is VX-21 Xpac. It is very durable, waterproof, and comes in lots of fun colors! A good cheaper option is 1000d Cordura. Rockywoods has tons of different fabrics that are suitable for this bag, so definitely take a look around their site and order some samples if you’re looking for something different.
For the lining of the bag I like to use 400d packcloth. It comes in lots of fun colors, and is the perfect weight for a sturdy lining.
Webbing
My favorite webbing is the nylon webbing by Cordura. Its extremely durable and has a really nice feel to it, with a sexy matte finish. For this bag you will need 1 yard of 3/4” webbing.
For the binding on the Lid and Pocket flap, you will need 2 yards of 1” polypropylene webbing. This webbing is more flexible than the Nylon webbing, making it a lot easier to stitch around the curves of the flaps. You could use grosgrain for this part, but I really like the look of the poly webbing, and find it to be a lot more durable.
Velcro
For this project you need Velcro in 1” and 2” widths. When you’re ordering, make sure to get the hook side and the loop side, as they are listed separately.
