I'm just now after 3 years of beading...getting brave enough to do this...Kelly you are one of the greatest teachers...ever! I have learned so may stiches from you...Thank you for sharing your knowledge and also for your patience!
Kelly you are so....good. I look forward to every Monday and Thursday to see what you are doing. I am never disappointed. Your enthusiasm makes me happy when I watch and learn from your video's. Bless you for caring.
Kelly, you are gifted and we are so lucky to have you there! Great pretty toggle..I made one I needed for bracelet, green beads and gold delicas..It looks like a real jewel, everybody thinks its emeralds! Thank you for your fabulous tutorials, so well presented, easy to follow and pretty designs.
dear Kelly, i don't know if you'll read my comment cuz this tutorial was made 4 years ago, i am an italian follower of your channel from last year when i found very useful tipn'tricks about some beadweaving techniques, so i found in you a great tutor, this tutorial is the best way making a beaded clasps, love it, i do not use metallic findings, except stainless steel, in my beadworks cuz i'm allergic to metals even nickel - cadmium free, so a big thank you and an hug from Italy ❤❤❤
This is gorgeous, Kelly! I'm new to beading, And you're one of my favorite beader's! I love the fact, that your tutorials are so well explained & most importantly to me, is that you always make sure your video's are excellently, clear & visible!! ...Thanks for always sharing your creations! You're amazing!! 😃💜
Thank you for taking time to do this. Very easy to follow, and understand. I have learnt a lot from your videos, and your effort is greatly appreciated. xxx
I tried it. It came out beautifully, thank you! It was tough at first but when I got to the 3rd or 4th pass and it started to look great, so I kept going. Totally worth the effort.
I like to have a Guru or two for the many different crafts i do....you are definitely one of mine for beading, thanks for your clear instructions, i'm grabbing little gems of information that helps pieces fit into place, you''re awesome!! I have already tried the Montee embellished bracelet and I've had untold compliments - hope to be as good as you are one day.
You have a great way about your videos. I have tried doing this so many times and it never looked good till I watched this video. Now my toggles look GREAT
Thank U dear Kelly! Grace the Internet connection I can see your special projects also in Transylvania, Romania! Wish you all the best from Cluj-Napoca!
i was extreamly happy with your tutorial as i love peote stitch but although i have seen many diagrams i have never found one that explained this suposedly simple stitch anywhere as well as you do thankyou
This is a game changer! Thank you kindly. Do you have a video on the earrings you are wearing??? I searched your channel but couldn't find them. Have a beautiful day.
Hi sweet Kelly, I have done this pretty toggle,loveeeeeeee it, thank you for your time and that patient of your love every tutorials you do. I'm working on the carpet bracelet, it takes awhile but i'm going to finish it soon, i'll let you know how it went! Thanks for all the beautiful projects that you show us. xox Mamie
Thank you! I've had a project stalled for two years because I've been unable to find a suitable clasp. This should work beautifully! Some day I will make my way to Forrest City, NC, and give you a big hug! (And of course buy lots of beads!) A thought for a future tutorial: Could you show us how to make a good-sized bead cone to finish a multistrand necklace (say, 10 seed beaded strands)? Another project stalled because I can't find commercial cones large enough to hold and cover all those strand ends, that would also lay flat-ish (fanning out the 10 strands somewhat), and be comfortable to wear. Many thanks for all your good and patient teachings!
Kelly, i am so excited!!! Your work is s9 beautiful and your instructions are so concise and so easy to view the techniques. i ordered some tutorials tonight.
Love your tutorials, love your accent even more. Now when are you going to do a tutorial for the earings you're wearing. Looking forward to your next video !
This is the first time I have watched your video and your work is wonderful and I will be learning how to improve myself with you great talent. Thankfully yours..
Thanks, Kelly! Now you can make a necklace with toggles on both ends and a ring to fit them through that slides up or down, depending on how the necklace is to hang..... Mix or match, Bling or not. Your great instructions also spark ideas! ;-)
Kelly, I like the earrings you wore in the beginning of this video. You have worn them before on other videos too. Can you do a tutorial on those earrings? I look forward to your videos each week! Thanks for your inspirations.
Omg Omg thank you so very much Kelly, May God keep on Blessing you sweetheart, thank you so very much, for your teaching skills, now I know how to do beading, I am truly very happy! Lol
I love your videos, you're so detailed with the projects. I've made a couple of these toggle clasps and found the bar piece came out somewhat squishy so I used a couple of bugle beads down the center of the tube and problem solved.
Donna Collette You can also cut a piece of a metal paper clip and insert it in the middle..It works very well to stiffen up the toggle. You will have of course to close the ends so that the wire stays in there.
I went ahead and made the bar part of the toggle with a length of 15 delicas. There's no center to bead a connection to with one that's an even count. I just use a brick stitch method to make each turn.
Love these, very thorough! Only thing I disagree with is the knot on the start of circle of 15/0's. If you sew around one more time it secures the thread & you do not have the bead blockage. Thank you for the tutorials! 😊
Thank you so much!!! I love your tutorials and that they are very concise and easily understood. Also they are very useful with many projects. I will go shopping at etsy page or .com as a token of appreciation. Thanks again r
Hi there Kelly. I live in Canada and love your videos. The magic carpet bracelet is gorgous. I'v made one in blues and one in reds. Other colors are already going around in my head. I have tried making earings not big but they turn out messy. Is there some where I can get some sort of idea on how to do the set up. Thanks for all your time your so sweet.
Bonjour, magnifique travail réalisé, vos tuto sont vraiment parfait je ne connais que deux youtubeuse qui sont aussi precises que vous pour expliquer doucement et patiemment (petit clin d'oeil entre autre à Paulette sur Popibijoux) MERCIIIIIIIII
Very nice. I've done Jill's toggles, and it is nice to see one a little different. You are looking very pretty and thinner. Have you lost weight? Hugs, Joy
What if you don’t want yo put the embellishment beads on the end, do you just go back down the center and come out the middle and make the connector loop.
In the inner circle are white beads size 15 from cylindrical Toho? Then the azure color of Delica 11 is understandable. 😊 And at the end, white beads are size 11, but what kind of beads? cylindrical Miyuki delica 11? Toho? You wrote 1 gram "seed beads" but I don't understand which company is Toho or Delica?🙈🙈🙈
This is a question I have too. I really want to make it but don't have any delicas. If regular 11/0's are too big can 10/0's be used instead? Thank you :-)
Love this tutorial! (Kelly's my favorite instructor, by far!) I was looking forward to making this toggle clasp for a bracelet I just made, but found that there are no corresponding 15/0 Delicas to match the two 11/0 Delica colors in my bracelet! (I used 11/0 Delicas DB1153 and DB1002 for my bracelet, but apparently, Miyuki doesn't make the same colors in a size 15/0...disappointing.)
I'm just now after 3 years of beading...getting brave enough to do this...Kelly you are one of the greatest teachers...ever! I have learned so may stiches from you...Thank you for sharing your knowledge and also for your patience!
Thank you!!!
Thank you, Kelly! You are truly an amazing teacher and artist! You videos are a lifeline for us beaders. Wishing you all the best!

Yes I agree 101% with the other comments! Very well explained indeed!
you are an awesome tutor....thanks for all ur tutorials
Really great video but did you ever do the follow-up video as I can’t find it? Many thanks for your really great tutorials.
Thanks for the great camera work. I'm allergic to metals. This will be great!! I'll be looking for next weeks' video.
Love these, very thorough! Only thing I disagree with is the knot on the start of circle of 15/0's. If you sew around one more time it secures the thread & you do not have the bead blockage. Thank you for the tutorials! 😊
Hi, You learn us in a very simple way, Thank you so much.
Thank you Kelly. Love this and will try immediately.
Soo cute! I can't wait to make this!
Excellent, excellent, excellent video....THANK YOU!

I found the follow up video to this one showing how to add the toggle. It's called the "Magic Carpet Bracelet ".
Well explained tutorial and a friendly personality
Bonjour, magnifique travail réalisé, vos tuto sont vraiment parfait je ne connais que deux youtubeuse qui sont aussi precises que vous pour expliquer doucement et patiemment (petit clin d'oeil entre autre à Paulette sur Popibijoux) MERCIIIIIIIII
Thank you for this, I'm allergic to most metals this is perfect. .easy to follow too..
Enjoyed this one I can used for all necklaces and bracelets thanks a lot
Perfect :) so difficult to find toggles for projects so you teaching us how to customize them for the things we make, are just wonderful.
I've always wanted to do this. Thank you!!!
Very nice. I've done Jill's toggles, and it is nice to see one a little different.
You are looking very pretty and thinner. Have you lost weight?
Hugs, Joy
Thank you for this. It's beautiful.
So beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Kelly!
Fantastic work
What if you Don't have Size 15's? Can you use size 11's?
Great teacher!! Dumb question: can I use regular 11/0 and 15/0?
MUY ben explicado,muy bonitos tus trabajos,gracias por subirlos
Love how you explain. Are a delicas square beads?
What if you don’t want yo put the embellishment beads on the end, do you just go back down the center and come out the middle and make the connector loop.
exactly!
I’m looking for the next video where you said you would show how to attach the toggle to bracelet or necklace. Can’t find.
In the inner circle are white beads size 15 from cylindrical Toho?
Then the azure color of Delica 11 is understandable. 😊
And at the end, white beads are size 11, but what kind of beads? cylindrical Miyuki delica 11? Toho? You wrote 1 gram "seed beads" but I don't understand which company is Toho or Delica?🙈🙈🙈
Love your earrings
any pattern tutorial for this?
Awesome video!
MUCHAS GRACIAS, EXCELENTE EXPLICACION.
Love this tutorial!
I love this.
can we use seed beads instead of delica?
This is a question I have too. I really want to make it but don't have any delicas. If regular 11/0's are too big can 10/0's be used instead? Thank you :-)
I use seed beads size 11.
Wonderful and helpful video
Question for Kelley Dale how do you measure how much to shorten my bracelets by using these? For example magic carpet bracelet, thanks so much
Me encantó 💕 felicitaciones!!
Great tutorial. Thank you
I'm making a 7" bracelet. What is the measurement of this clasp?
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!
Благодарю, очень выручили. Успехов и мира.
It would be helpful to know what brand of 15/0's and 11/0's you're using. Thanks!
Nice tutorial, thank you
Where's the next video ??? I can't seem to find it thank you
Love this tutorial! (Kelly's my favorite instructor, by far!) I was looking forward to making this toggle clasp for a bracelet I just made, but found that there are no corresponding 15/0 Delicas to match the two 11/0 Delica colors in my bracelet!
