The first dice bag is navy poly fabric with a satiny finish and holographic glitter apparently glued onto the fabric; I was going for a "night sky" theme. The interior is satin taffeta, in kind of an ocean blue. The cord is 550 paracord, with a turk's head knot, in a gray "urban camo" pattern which is evocative of clouds or perhaps the moon. The bag has a square bottom, so it should be able to stand upright and allow for easier retrieval of dice. This is for a gentleman with a history of seamanship; I wanted something which conveys respect, but not stodginess.
The next dice bag is a violet poly satin fabric with pink glitter apparently glued onto the fabric; the interior is pink satin taffeta. The cord is also 550 paracord with a turk's head knot, in a pink and magenta "candy snake" pattern. This is for a lady who loves to fish and who loves the color violet; I was also inspired by a 7-lb. Skipjack Tuna I caught, which looked kind of violet when I was holding it. The bag does not have a square bottom, but I truncated the interior such that small objects won't fall into the corners of the tail.
This last dice bag is an iridescent green poly satin fabric; the interior is pink satin taffeta. This bag has a square bottom, like the "night sky" bag above. This is for a lady who associates with a frog motif, so I tried to make it look like a frog, with flipper feet, bulging googly eyes, and a long tongue. The cord is also 550 paracord with a turk's head knot, in a bright yellow and green "gecko" pattern.
As the photos indicate, these bags can all accommodate the small essentials of gaming, including dice, a standard-size deck of cards, a 12-ounce can of Mountain Dew, and even a full-size pencil (though it sticks out a bit).
