I feel like a bit of a poser with this design because, full disclosure, I am not a proper dice OR Dr Who fan. *gasp*
In fact, my color choices were totally random for this project. It wasn’t until I asked for help naming it on Facebook that people started to point out that it reminded them of The TARDIS from Dr Who.
And, behold, the TARDICE dice bag was born. (Don’t groan, I LOVE a good pun or play on words)

Cord
There are a lot of ways to do work the cording on a bag. I chose the method below as a fast fix. I didn’t have any pull closures on hand so I tied a button to my chain and tied a loop knot to close.
Chain 40, leaving at least a 3 inch tail at the beginning and end. Use a needle to thread tails into a cute button, securing with a knot and cutting remaining ends.
