1-String one part of clasp with the large hole facing out. Burn the line to form a small knot. Let cool for 10 seconds and then pull inside of the clasp hole.
2- Place strung clasp on metal sheet.
Start stringing the beads to make your design
3- String remaining part of clasp with big hole facing out. Check the length of your design.
4- Pull your design tight & cut remaining line so 1/2 - 3/4 inch is sticking out from clasp. Burn end of line to form a knot.
5- Let the knot cool for 10 seconds and then pull inside of the clasp hole.
6- Close your jewelry design, clasps should attract
to eachother.
Using the Double Clasp


Tip for finishing your design : The line will catch a flame when it is lit. As the line burns it will shrink forming a knot. You should blow out the flame before it reaches the clasp hole. There should be about 1/4 inch of line after making knot. A little
   slack will be necessary for proper bending. You can also practice burning knots in the line before starting your project. As always use caution when working with a lighter & give yourself plenty of clear space to work. Have fun Magnetik beading!
