Tutorial: Dinosaur clasp leather clutch

Check out the clasp on this leather clutch! It’s a dinosaur!! His body is split between the front and the back of the bag. From the side, it looks like he’s walking through the bag. The design is by Daniel Parker from Studs and Buttonholes, and he shares a tutorial showing how to make it. Go to his blog for the how-to.
