Clap!, Clap!, Clap! Bravo! What an excellent teacher you are. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, especially for the Newbies out here like me.

Very nice! So useful. No more paying big bucks for cheap clasps. Thank you so much for your time! These are wonderful, esp that wrapped spring shaped one.

[@stephanieanderson4573]

This video is great. I appreciate that I don't need to go buy 8 things to do it. Simple, able to do with supplies I have, and beautiful! Thank you!

[@infidelcastor]

Great tutorial! This will look so much better with my nicer necklaces than the store bought clasps! Thanks 🙏🏻😊

[@laineywright2696]

You are the best source for reliable tips and tricks for beaders. I love your channel.

[@que2shing720]

came across this video June 2023, found out it is very useful, very detailed n clear instructions, thank you.

[@gladyschayeb6126]

Thank you for the tutorial. I intend to make a few to put on my bracelets and maybe even necklaces

[@janekearney5908]

Good information. In the future could you please provide the length of the material being used, it would really help.

[@lynneholden6216]

Thank you for teaching me how to make clasps I'm new to wire wrapping but I'm gonna practice this technique!

[@mariabooth8104]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@sass2387]

such nice wire work. Thank you so much. I will watch and work several times. Don't think I have seen anyone that is as good as you are.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Sass 23 -- that is so nice of you to say that -- I appreciate it a great deal. :D

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

So clear, thanks. Especially like your pointers on how to reshape and adjust, some natural 'pause points' where you can survey your work and fine-tune the shape, before you're completely locked into the final form.

[@DeniseWashington]

In the process of watching all of your videos. I'm learning so much. Never thought about making my own clasps. Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+Denise Washington You are very much welcome -- I am glad you are enjoying the videos! :)

[@RMVicary]

@@beadedjewelrydiva what brand of tools do you use? They look like a really good quality.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

@@RMVicary I like Lindstrom and Tronex for everything but round-nose pliers. For the round-nose pliers I have a pair from years and years ago, unknown brand, but very sturdy.

[@hummerklein2567]

Your work is fabulous thank you for sharing this with me God bless you also

[@darksi226]

Wow. Thanks for the vid! Been looking up a bunch of “how to, bracelet” vids and yours is,by far, the best-easiest to understand!!! Great looking ideas. I’m pretty sure I’m inspired to try a similar design for my wife’s Christmas present. Excellent use of words, video angle, and unique twists. Thanks again!!

[@myramcdonald5202]

I agree but I don't see any more tutorials maybe she doesn't do them any more

[@racheljackson110]

You made that so easy. Thank you.

[@esthertrejo8329]

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Wanda, I am glad you enjoyed the video -- have fun making clasps! :D

[@feltthefluff]

Thank you ❤

[@MF-xs2hv]

I really love your CLASPS video. WOW....really great assortment and nicely designed clasps....thank you!!!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Thank you so much -- I appreciate your kind comment. :)

[@carolgrace6573]

Hiya, wondering if you have a video of attaching the clasps to cord ? Thanks, lovely work xx

[@lw7967]

Wow! What a great video! Thank you so much for showing all these great clasps!

[@budabbott71]

Perfect. Thankyou very much.

[@tangelajackson8606]

Wow! Thanx - good video.

[@leyalaatasto9096]

Awesome! Can't wait to try these once my wire and tools come in💕

[@geniebeader8101]

Am only just expanding from bead-work into wired designs and have ordered some copper wires which I'm hoping will arrive very soon. Am itching to make some of these lovely clasps. Thank you for a very clear video tutorial.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Genie, Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I hope you have lots of fun making your clasps! :)

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

Sweet skill and designs! Thanks!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Bonnie, I am glad you enjoyed the video. :D

[@fayethurman7587]

You make it look so easy, now I hope I can do!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+Faye Thurman Hi! I am sure you can -- all you need to do is try. :) Hope you have fun!

[@donnabenz5189]

Thank you. 💕👌🏻🤓

[@angiedj62]

Thanks so much for your videos. They let me know that I don't need to buy all of the fancy pricey tools to make things. I've recently started kumihimo and buying clasps and cones can get pricey. Making my own will add an additional personal touch to my pieces. I hope it's as easy as you make it look :-) I'm subscribing.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi angiedj62, I am glad you enjoyed the video! It's a lot of fun to make clasps. Don't worry if you have troubles at first; I don't always get things right the first time either. :) Just practice and enjoy!

[@barbaras9764]

I agree. I am so glad that you don't have to be rich to see if you can make these. Other videos have you going o buy pricey tools to make these.

[@misj604]

I love this tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks

[@Karibee61]

Brilliant tutorial; just what I need; thank you so much. Love and peace from London UK

[@kbaxterpackwood]

How much wire did you use to make the first S-clasp?

[@josephinethomas9182]

awesome video keep them coming

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+josephine thomas Thank you! :)

[@indiravarma841]

These 18 gauge wires are soft or medium hard in temper? They look very flexible

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hello! I used dead soft wire, which can be work hardened ahead of time. I have found that anything doubled will work harden very quickly when in use. The ones not doubled will work harden slower when in use. I have some single wire clasps that I have been able to use for many years.

[@janpeterson21]

Thanks so much!

[@mdmojiborrohaman8082]

can you make earring clasp

[@annajeangaissert]

I love this video, too! However, i have a question. Will the 18 gauge wire stay in shape? I know I've had silver wire that stretches out, but I've never worked with the copper wire.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Jean -- 18 gauge will stay in place if you don't have a lot of tugging on your piece. If you do anticipate any tugging or plan to use with heavy pieces, then I suggest a little bit of work hardening on the clasp prior to attaching it to your project. I hope this helps! :)

[@FanofAllz99]

Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

[@RayCornett]

Why do you double wrap the "light bulb" clasps?

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

She said it made the hook more 'finished' . I believe its a lovely variation, also appears 'substantial' to me.

[@daisyredding2413]

What is the covering you have on your flat nose pliers? It's to protect the wire, but where do I find it? Thanks for this tutorial. I'm just starting on bracelets so I want to be creative with my closures.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Cherry, I have something called "Tool Magic" on my pliers -- here's the video where i talk about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3TShmicgLJlqtE You can usually find it at one of the craft stores, in the jewelry-making section. If you can't find it locally, Amazon has it, too. :)

[@ValleyMermaid]

Thank you!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

You are very welcome, ValleyMermaid (what an unusual user ID!). :D

[@ValleyMermaid]

I LOVE how you shared SO MANY OPTIONS! You made it easy to follow and understand too! I have to watch tutorials over and over because I'm such a slow learner. You are detailed and very easy to understand. I meant to type all that in my original message, but I got distracted. I look forward to watching more of your videos! My user ID is one I e had a d used forever and I still love mermaids :D!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Thanks so much for your kind comments! I am so glad that my videos have helped, and that I am easy to understand. Comments like yours are what keeps me going! :D

[@KatyLiedToMe]

Hi there, how many coats of tool magic do you have on your orangey flat nose pliers? My coats always seem to rub off.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi KathyLied, I use two very thin coats of Tool Magic. I do have a video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3TShmicgLJlqtE that shows exactly how slow I coat my pliers. Hope it helps!

[@naziaakther8159]

Please make hooks and eyes please 🥺🥺🥺😔🙏

[@roselinprimrose1637]

good to know how to make your own links

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Yes it is -- thank you for the comment! :)

[@dheerranvlogs8329]

may i use gear wire

[@slasherlady]

What's the white stuff on the pliers?

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi SulfurForLunch (what an unusual screen name!), it's Tool Magic. I have a video on how to use it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3TShmicgLJlqtE

[@slasherlady]

Beaded Jewelry Diva Thank you. :).

[@skyalicejessi]

Cant w8 2 experiment with wire 🎉

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hello! I hope you have a lot of fun. 🙂

[@cynthiasalmon-conzola660]

I wish the camera stayed on the work. I couldn't see what she was doing around the dowel.

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

Hi Cynthia, sorry about that!

[@paigemcdonald9384]

omg

[@paigemcdonald9384]

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

+Paige McDonald Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@RickyRyans]

I only came here because clasps is a weird word to pronounce lol it makes anyone who says it have a purposeful lisp

[@cindybrook0520]

Thank you!

[@beadedjewelrydiva]

You are very welcome, Cindy. :)
