This was EXACTLY what I was looking for🌈 Thank you so much...Using brown leather cord/.31cm for earrings. The wire coil will be a great option...

This is great, thank you! Wondering how well large hold beads without silicone would hold up for adjustable endings? Its hard to find silicone ones for larger (5mm round suede, for ex). Any tricks from anyone is appreciated!

[@sbfarmer8]

thank you for multiple^2

[@BubbaTGanew]

The spring end you thought was too small can be threaded on...like the leather is the bolt and the spring is the nut, no glue necessary. The loop ends of the springs can be adjusted. Having one loop closed and one loop slightly open can substitute for a clasp, that with a bit of practice, can be hooked and unhooked with one hand...but don't make the opening too wide for obvious reasons.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback! It is very appreciated!

I should make my question clearer. I got the 20mm braided leather that potomac sells and the 20mm magnetic clasp. I think I may have just figured out my problem.. the clasp is 20mm across right? So if I have a leather piece that is 20mm it will not fix very easy right?

[@Potomacbeadco]

OK now I'm confused! LOL! Are you talking about the 20mm wide leather strap?

[@t.c.white-tiger7134]

I was using a 20mm clasp but the braided leather was not going into the clasp. I looked but the next size was I think 48mm what did I do wrong or is there a trick I don't know. Please help

[@Potomacbeadco]

You need to choose a cord end or clasp that will cover your cord end neatly and can be glued securely.

[@lishachism2600]

What size wire did you use when you looped and wrapped the leather cord at the end?

[@Potomacbeadco]

She used a 24 gauge wire. 20 - 24 gauge should are best for this method. Thank you for watching!

[@bluehue83]
