- Fold the sheet in half and lay your 7" zipper in front of the clutch.
- Apply hot glue or fabric adhesive across the whole bottom half of the zipper.
- Press the leather firmly down to the glue, running your finger across to ensure it sticks completely.

- Let dry completely, pressing firmly along the entire zipper length.
- Apply glue to both sides of the clutch and press the leather edges together firmly.
- Peel off any excess glue once dry.
