Step 2
Fold the clasp and insert the pin to secure it closed.
Step 3
Sew the end of the clasp sleeve along the outside of the case, sealing it inside. Then, continue to sew down the side of the case and across the bottom to finish the case.
To Use, just squeeze the sides of the clasp to open! You can stitch the inside edges of the clasp case closed if desired.
