Doing something as easy as calculation fringe to a simple leather clutch will make y'all wonder how one could live with a such a deadening frill-less pouch to begin with. I dare you lot to do this tutorial and resist the urge to requite some other accessory the fringe handling. Because honestly, everything is ameliorate with fringe.

You'll need:

  • unlined leather clutch or pouch
  • leather rotary punch
  • 100 feet 3/16″ deerskin leather lace
  • white paint pen
  • ruler
  • scissors

Start by finding an unlined leather pouch. If the pouch or clutch is lined with textile, information technology will be very hard to punch holes using your rotary dial. Turn the pouch inside out. Using a fine, white paint pen, draw a straight line a few millimeters in a higher place the bottom seam. Practice the same with left and correct seam. It's okay if the lines don't intersect at the corners.

Make dotted marks every half inch along the drawn lines. Use the 2nd largest hole size, 13/64″, and punch holes through the marks.

Dial 1 hole in two bottom corners.

Cut 17-18″ inch strands of leather lace. Have one strand and thread it through the front face up of 1 set of holes. The glossy side of the leather lacing should be facing out.

Bring the other side of the strand over the edge of the pouch and through the hole on the dorsum face up. Pull both ends from the inside of the pouch. Repeat with all the holes.

Turn the pouch right side out and adjust the strands then the ends match.

While keeping the strands sandwiched together, tie a knot and tighten close to the border of the pouch. Echo on all the strands.
