Crochet Clutch — You will need a finished crochet clutch with all the ends weaved in

Crochet Pouch Folded Flat — Fold the clutch completely flat

Folded Crochet Pouch — Mark the sides with pins

Pins Added To Crochet Pouch — Turn the pouch inside out, and pin the zipper with the zipper pull to the inside.

Sewing The Zipper To A Crochet Pouch — Use thread the same color as the zipper and backstitch the zipper to the crochet

More Stitches — Try and keep the stitching straight as much as possible

Push the zipper with your finger until it is completely open and turn your pouch right side out.

Sewing The Ends of the Zipper — Sew the ends together

Closed Zipper — It is a bit wonky but who cares

Testing your zipper on the pouch — Test your zipper

Zipper Added to Crochet Pouch — Enjoy your new zipper
