Red And White Nugget Bracelet

The clasp is made of a metal bead I bought many years ago, but never used for some reason. But as I was going through my beads, I rediscovered it, and decided to use it in this project. If you want to see how I made the clasp, you can click here.
Unfortunately I have no tutorial on how I made these beads, but I have made some blue ones with the same technique. If you like, you can find the tutorial here.

String on a crimp bead and thread the wire through a wire guardian. Slip on the clasp and pass the wire back through the crimp bead.

Use a pair of

chain nose pliers or a pair of crimping pliers to fasten the crimp bead. Cover it with a crimp cover.
If you are uncertain on how to do this, see this tutorial on how to fasten a clasp.

You can now choose to fasten a jumpring to the wire guardian, or hook the clasp directly in the wire guardian. Since jumprings sometimes open by accident if the bracelet is pulled, I often use the wire guardian only. You can of course use a soldered ring, but then you must fasten it before you crimp.

If you use a jumpring, remember to add it to the total length of your bracelet, if not it will be additionally longer.
