I've made myself a pot for my meths stove.
I wanted something secure for it because I use a cut off nail to seal the hole for pouring the meths. Yeah, I know I could use a small stone or coin, but I'm a completist. I was going to make a draw-string pouch for it, but they never fully seal and there is a good chance the nail will fall out the hole and may fall out the pouch.
So I made one from veg tanned leather instead.
The lid is not secured, but I made it a tight fit so that friction holds it closed.
Here are a couple of piccys...

A similar thing could be made from birch bark, but I'm no good with birch bark.
