Step 1
You will need a piece of leather, punch pliers, zig-zag scissors, scissors, pencil, tuck-tite fastener, scissors.
Step 2
Cut a square or a rhombus and cut off the lower corner of your clutch. That is going to be the inside edge of the bag.
Step 3
Trim all edges with the zigzag scissors. That might take a while :)
Step 4
Punch the eyelet along the edges. THAT might take forever :).
Step 5
At the end your leather will look like a Grannie's tablecloth.
Step 6
Flip over the cut-off part so that the edge lays in the middle.
Step 7
Fold the sides like by an envelope. The corners should cross over a little in the middle.
Step 8
Make sure the leather on the corners overlaps.
Step 9
Now connect all 3 layers together with the bottom part of the tuck- tite fastener.
Step 10
Now attach the top part of the fastener to the flap und you're finished.
Step 11
This is how the finished Origami clutch looks like.
