How To Make A Beaded Toggle and Bar Clasp
How To Make A Beaded Toggle and Bar Clasp
For me it was all of the above. If you are game to try, here's how to make your own. The relative
sizes of the bar and toggle will depend on personal preference and the actual jewelry design. So try it
out with some copper wire first.
6. Take another 4- 5 inches of wire and wrap it round your pliers somewhere in the middle.
7. Twist the wires so they look like the bottom right picture.
8. Load up one end with enough beads so the actual length of bar will be the right one for your
toggle.
9. Wire wrap the end - this will be more secure than just a simple loop. Then repeat for the other
side. That's it - nice and simple. There are loads of variations with wire and beads you can do to
make this basic design your own.
