Artists Tip
Attach your design to this clasp any
number of ways: For beadwoven designs, stitch the ends of your bracelet
or necklace directly into the B beads of
the ring and bar. For designs strung on
beading wire, string 1 crimp tube,
enough seed beads to cover the wire,
and the ring; pass back through the
tube and crimp. For the bar, attach
2 collars 1 bead space apart in Step 3
and attach the beading wire as before,
allowing the wire to nestle between
the collars.
