hey everyone okay so I thought it would
be a good idea to show you how I
actually
did add the clasp i know at the end of
the um or during the video um you know I
showed you that I I sewed the row of the
80 O's into the bracelet and that I was
going to use a closure and where I ended
was oh I was going to have to try to
figure it out so I have figured it out
um pretty simple actually you could see
right here I I have it on and it all
came out great and so I'll just walk you
through and show you what I did so
pretty simple here I have the two ends
of um the hemp warps now I will tell you
one of the things I experienced is that
I was I was pulling around just a little
too much and my warp shifted and my
bracelet started to um curl and so just
be careful that when you are doing this
you don't pull your warps too tight um
or you know tug at them because they
will shift okay so we should be good
because there's really nothing on this
end now to screw up because this end is
is dialed in and secured with the clasp
so all I did was um I'm going to turn
this here a little i just did two little
knots
and I'm going to apologize i have the
fan off in here i can hear it wanting to
come on i still have not figured out
where the off button is
so silly so I just made a little knot
and then I'm going to make another one
and I'm just using the chain nose to
kind of walk that knot down so that it
gets as close to the beads as possible
we don't want it like we want it really
snug against the beads so let me show
you let me see yeah this one this one's
okay i'm not going to worry about that
um and then
what I did and I always like to match so
here's here's the end and here's the
little cap that I had to flip over so I
always like to match that and go in the
same direction
so before I cut the hemp and by the way
I do use my pliers to kind of open these
sliders up a little bit more sometimes
they're not exactly round and you could
see that I I just opened it up a little
bit so I'm going to slide that on
and then I'm just going to push that in
oops
okay
and just make sure everything is okay
still here and now I am going to go
ahead and turn it towards me so that I
could see what the heck I'm doing okay
cool and now I can see yep good so what
I'm going to do is I'm just going to
bring in my little scissors and now I'm
going to nip these so I actually have
a layer of hemp in there which I like
because I feel like it's giving um it's
taking up space
and I I like that one is still attached
it feels feels like a good idea so I'm
just going to cut above the knot there
and yeah I have to cut off a little bit
more
i love these scissors okay and then I'm
just going to scooch this in
this is just one of those Fumbina kind
of
things and my fingers are not strong
enough so I just bring in
the flats
and Whoopsie
yeah so it looks like I might have to
trim this little piece off here
and then I'm just going to make sure
this is really nice and tight so yay
so yeah it's pretty simple i stinking
love this cuff i mean so unique so
different um you know we put it together
last night and I was really kind of
focused on showing you different beads
that equaled you know the tile and so I
I just love all of it i love the
dimension of it i love the end result
and what's super cool about these
vintage tiles is that if you wanted you
could probably buff up the gold side and
reverse it so now you have two in one
pretty stinking cool huh i'm not really
good at doing this on my own but let's
see i don't want to get locked in here
but the cool thing about the slider is
that you know you can you can gain some
length right so like if you needed a
little bit more room
but yeah ain't this great oh I'm so
stinking excited so I hope that helps
you i thought for sure I needed to show
you
excuse me how I did that because we just
kind of left it in the last video undone
and I said "Oh now I got to figure it
out." So pretty simple um just you know
like I said be careful with your warps
and there we go so yay all righty i'm
going to finish those earrings too
because those are too stinking cute they
need to be in my ears all right hope
this helped
