DIY d12 Handbag (of Holding) Retro-dork-chic-DIY-d12 handbag. Drawstring dice bags are nearly ubiquitous amongst people who play with non-cubical dice. They can even be used as hand bags. But what about the inverse– a bag that looks like one of the dice? Here’s how to make a dodecahedral handbag using fabric, iron-on numbers, a couple of washers and a magnet. The numbers are iron-on numbers from a craft store. Iron on all of your numbers first. As you move on to connecting more polygons, you’ll need to fold them a bit to align the edges.
