Step 1: Let Me Show You How to Make a Zipper

Step 2: Cut All Pieces Use Acrylic Pattern.

Step 3: We Glue 2 Pieces of Lock Together by Contain a Piece of Magnetic Button.

Step 4: Now We Make Zipper Pouch, Sew One Side Cloth on Main Body Leather, Here I Fold More Cloth on Tips Toward Inner.

Step 5: Do the Same on the Other Side.

Step 6: Paint Glue As Picture Shows, This Operation Is Very Important, That Will Form a Pouch Later.

Step 7: Sew This Stitching Line, the Surface and Lining Leather Will Be Sewn Together.

Step 8: Sew Pre Sewn Lock On, But Only Sew Lock With Surface Leather.

Step 9: Sew Square Leather on Right Place, Look at the Picture, There Are Orienting Lines on Pattern to Help You Find the Right Place. Notice, I Fold the Edge to Have a Nice Looking.

Step 10: We Will Use Bending Glue Skill to Glue Lining and Surface Completely. Paint Glue As Picture Show, and Don't Forget Magnetic Button On.

Step 11: Glue Edges.

Step 12: Bend and Glue Firmly.

Step 13: After Bending Glue, You Will See the Clutch Has a Nature Bending, Because Lining Is Shorter Than Surface.

Step 14: Punch Stitching Holes Use Chisel.

Step 15: Punch Stitching Holes on a Wood Stick Will Make This Work Easier. (WHAT a MUSCLE MAN@@)

Step 16: Sew 2 Pieces of Gusset on to Finish This Clutch, Here I Fold the Gusset Edge to Get a Nice Looking.
