Step 10:  Now we add the clasp.  Open a medium to large jump ring and use this jump ring to connect the clasp to the loop in one end of the braided wire that you just completed.  Then close the jump ring.  Repeat this process connecting the loop in the other end of the braided wire to the other side of the clasp. 

Step 11:  Gently bend the braided wire into a round shape either using a bracelet mandrel or by hand.  This completes this jewelry making project. 

Please remember to practice this project in inexpensive wire.  This is a project that can be completed by beginners, but like riding a bike you will get better at it with practice.

This WigJig jewelry making project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Making Designs.  We try to provide interesting jewelry projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies.  We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project.  Some of the skills and jewelry making techniques have not been discussed here.  For beginners, we suggest that you visit our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to jewelry making might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Making Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown. 

 Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store.  We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
