Does anyone know where I might find swing clasps for leatherworking? I'm trying to make a couple pouches and I can't seem to find them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Here's a pic so y'all can get an idea what I'm lookin for:

Hardware-Elf (http://www.hardware-elf.com/)
These people have any clasp you could want! ;D
It's under "Latches & Locks"
Another Option . will add more if I come across them.

Awesome! Thanks y'all! :D
Try someplace that has crafting supplies, and check around the supplies for making furniture and doll houses and such. I've seen some clasps at places like Michaels with the raw wood crafts stuff. Or maybe look for purse clasps at a fabric store.
This place has them: http://www.steffanleather.com/
Look in "purse fasteners".
I know I'm giving a late response here, but I've been offline for awhile.
I've seen latches identical to the one you posted the picture of at hardware stores in the same section that you'll find cabinet knobs, light hinges and other decorative hardware. It was at HomeDepo that I saw them.
Thanks JC! I'll check around. I haven't gotten around to making my pouches yet because I've been dealing with moving and other such things. So, I'll check into all these. Thanks a bunch! :)

thats where I get my closures-now if I could just get more time
edit-after talking to the better half(who used to manage a Tandy leather)
"closures of any kind are actually called findings"
and no she doesn't know why they are called that
