Thank you Allie for sharing this! I have made so many clasps over the years because, like you, I love to use mixed metals. I also make my own ear hooks, rings and connectors when in a pinch. It gives my jewelry a more organic look ❤️ I love to use wire for so many purposes. It’s also easily made stronger by tapping with a chasing, leather or rubber hammers. I bought supplies to learn how to solder, which would make a great tutorial btw 😉
I used to do my own clasps, moved away from that but thanks for the refresher..I been having troubles with lobster clasps because pain on my hands makes it difficult for me to use them, I think I am going to replace them with my own wire ones.
Thank you for showing how to work with wire which I've never done. I usually make my own closures with beading, a bit time consuming , but hard to find clasps that I really like. I think this will be fun!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Yours are my top favorites out of the long list of subscriptions I have. I've also recently started receiving a bead box every month and I am in love with each one. By far the best bead box available! Thank you very much! ❤
Thanks for this. I enjoy making my own clasps but I never added beads before. What a great idea! I’m not sure why that never occurred to me before but a soon as I saw it I knew I would definitely being doing that in the future. Thanks!
You do beautiful bead work, I wish I could get it, I tried, I don’t know if it’s my hands bc they cramp (years if computer work) or I just can’t get it, simple designs, very simple I can do but nothing like you.
Thank you so much for this video. It was very Instructional and inspirational. I definitely will try to stop being "lazy" and start making my own clasps. Thank you also for all your wonderful videos. ❤️
I find it's difficult to make mix metal look nice. You make it look so easy to look pretty. How you do that. Also I like to make the S hook and hook and eye clasp more than the toggle more cuz I get trouble to make it fit properly.
Very beautiful results. I am curious though how secure s hook and hook and eye clasps are. I've avoided them due to large openings figuring they would come apart and cause my jewelry to fall off. Love how easy they seem to fasten though. Heidi

Good point!
@@Potomacbeadco glad to hear you think so. What is your opinion on how secure those kinds of clasps are?
I’m a beginner so sorry if this is a dumb question, will the dead soft hold well for a clasp?
