Help to bag with flat metal frame closure

Hi all,

I have been looking on the web but are not able to find what im looking for.

I bought at bag of different hardware some years ago and have 2 og these metal frames, but i cont find out how to use them. I guess im going to wrap them in leather and then make some kind of bag and sew them on, but i need some inspiration to get started and some inspiration for how to close the bag.

Is there anyone here that used a set like these, who can help me get started

It's difficult to see from the picture, but it looks like that's only one side of a frame.

This may be the frame used on a 'kiss' lock bag, but the lock isn't there. Doing a reverse image search, it looks like you got that pic from Weaver leather supply. It might be worth asking them for examples of use.

You are right, this is only one side of the frame and it looks like the "kiss" lock frames but without the "lock". That is why i struggeling to come up with a closure for it. Might just make a flap with a clasp on it....

I got it from Ohio Travel Bag but it looks like they were purchased by Weaver in Nov. 2022.

Yeah, it will need some kind of flap closure then. Alternatively you could drill a few holes along the top length that you could then fill with disc magnets of a matching thickness. Either in addition to, or instead of the flap and clasp. Just an idea.
