Repeat this pattern to cast off/bind off stitches till you have no stitches left. Cut the yarn. Secure and weave the loose yarn.
Place the clutch front side up and fold the clutch as shown in the photo below. Sew the edges on both sides.
Take the metallic locker and its parts and start assembling the lock. Turn the project inside out so that the wrong side is inside and you are facing the front side of your project.
Place the lock in the middle of the project and secure it as shown in the photo below.
Insert the edge of the project into the opening of the metallic locker, take small bolts, and insert them in the holes from both sides. You might need a hammer or something firm to hit the bolts and secure them.
