I've made several. Just take a small piece of fairly stiff leather about as thick as a cap is tall. Punch a series of holes around the edge the size of a cap and about the width of a cap from the edge. Cut a little slit from the edge to the hole. Experiment.

Two layers of leather makes an improvement. Not so apt to lose caps and capper slips off the nipple easier. My 1 1/2 cents.

I made one years ago from a circle cut from a thick old belt. I still has some of the caps in it from 40 years ago. I never had a problem with caps falling out, but I didn't cut a slit in the edge but just the hole with a hole punch.

This one is unique. Modern material.
Works like a charm!

Simple one I made 40 years ago and still works fine. Just glued together with 3M contact adhesive.
