I was just in Toys-R-Us & saw a bag of "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" (from Harry Potter) off in their candy section. The bag is a lovely blue diamond-patterned cloth with the logo on it.
"Hmmmm," thought I, "that looks like it might be the right size to hold my Universal Waite Pocket deck...!"
$3.99+tax & a short drive later, I was ripping the jellybeans out & shoving in my deck. SUCCESS! There was even enough room for the deck to be wrapped in a small piece of silk (to prevent spiritual contamination from the obviously artificial fiber bag, LOL).
BTW, if anyone else decides to try this, beware of the beans. When they say "spinach" flavor or whatever ... they're not joking. The "vomit" bean is definitely barfalicious. EWWWW. I'm going to give the rest to my nephew, who will enjoy them more!

That's a great idea, Myriantha! I found a picture of the bag and it is rather adorable!
Perhaps I should visit Toys-R-Us tomorrow when I'm running my errands! :D
Thanks for the tip!
Peace,
Melvis

Excellent idea Myriantha!
I have improvised in similar ways. One of our local garden nurseries did a xmas display last year and were selling little velvet gift bags with gold braid ties. After xmas I went and bought all that were left in the new year sale. I got them for around £2 each and they are really sumptuous.

Beware the 'sardine' flavored ones too! Yuck.
Good catch on finding a nice little bag for your deck. Beats the old 'Crown Royal' bag hands down.

I also found several drawstring bags, in various sizes, at a renaissance faire last weekend. There were several vendors who were selling tumbled stones, glass marbles, and other such things, and all of them had velvet drawstring pouches of multiple sizes and colors available, as well.
I discovered a green drawstring velvet bag, of the smallest size one vendor had available, was just the thing for a Tiny Universal Waite deck. :)
