The carrier comprises an elongated tubular member formed from a single square or rectangular sheet of flexible material, which is open at one end and closed at the opposite end. A portion of the tubular member adjacent the open end thereof is formed into a belt-encircling loop for suspending the same from the user's belt with the open end thereof directed downwardly. First releasable fastening means releasably secure first and second portions of the tubular member together to form said loop. A portion of the tubular member adjacent the closed end thereof forms a combination closure flap and support for the article contained in the carrier. Second releasable fastening means releasably holds the closure flap in the closed condition.
