Attaching The Clasp for Making Recycled Jewelry

Hi. I'm Jason. I'm shooting of behalf of expertvillage.com today. I'm making a recyclable necklace out of things that I've found. We're going to make a skull charm with two beads that we've made out of some cable. Right now I have the clasp that we've made out of the safety pin and we're just going to put that on the end. We're going to put the end of the wire through the eyelet and we're going to just tie a simple knot in the end. When you get the knot tied you're going to see it's still quite big. So put your fingers on the backside of the knot and pull the rest of the wire through. Now we have one side of the clasp fastened. You want to make sure that it's really tight and that you can see no kinks in it anywhere. Because that will eventually work itself out. So that's really tight. Nothing?s really going to go anywhere. It's really important on this step to do that. If you don't feel like it's getting tight enough you can bite the end, you can put pliers on it and pull it. Just whatever to where it feels like it's not going to come off.
