Step 12: Using your flush cutter, cut the excess wire. Using your bent chain nose pliers, squeeze and twist the cut end of the wire until it lays flat. See the picture below-left. Step 13: At this point you are almost done; however, it is likely that the clasp will not be oriented properly. To correctly orientate the clasp, you will need to grasp the link in the chain that connects to the clasp, immediately adjacent to the wrapped wire, with your chain nose or bent chain nose pliers. Hold your pliers firmly and bend the loop 90 degrees until the clasp is aligned properly as shown below-center. Step 14: You can add beads to this link as shown below-right. For the braqcelet shonw here we used 20 gauge wire and 8mm beads to add the beads to this bracelet. Please select here to view our instructions for adding beads to a round link like this one.
Once you have added your beads, this bracelet jewelry making project is completed.
