Love that you started with a simple clasp (for beginners like me) and graduated to more involved clasps. They are all beautiful and thank you for giving several ways of making them.
Such lovely work! Now I can rest easy when I run out of ready made pricey clasps and just make my own. Thanks, Lily! Greetings from California!
You're becoming my favorite channel lol
I Love your videos, very professionally and creatively! Thank you)
If you hammered the ring it would match. Loved those Celtic knots and wire work. Thanks for the demo!
Beautiful work! Thank you!
It was just what I needed! I found it! Thank you Lily for this beautiful video! ❤️🤓🇷🇺
Thank you and you are welcome! 😃

La felicito hace unos proyectos divinos, 👍🌹
Thanks for this tutorial...it was just what I needed xxx
Excellent! I'm glad you like it!
Great video. Thanks
Very nice clasps. I think handcrafted clasps are a wonderful way to finish a piece.
Thank you Wendy! Yes, and the advantage is that you can make the clasp to match the rest of the piece.
Love the knotted wire clasp!! Great set! Will share on my blog (beadinggem) in due course!
Thanks Beading Gem! I hope your readers like them!
Thank you!
Stupendi tutti ti ringrazio di cuore ❤️
Prego!
Very lovely! I especially loved the knotted clasp. I'm just getting into using my butane torch. Can you only ball up the ends on raw copper or can you also do it on plated wire? I love your videos. Thank you so much Lily-Tree *hugs*
great tutorial and a lovely variation on the theme especially the last clasp shown.
Thanks Maria!
You sure love that chasing hammer only difference I would do as far as letting out the wire I would use a planishing hammer but it is a good tutorial
Geat...great
Thanks a lot !
You're welcome!
nice
Do you have a good homemade pickling solution?
Hello everyone, what type of wire does lilly use round or square? Thanks
Can you only do that in bronze or can you do it to plate .
Its not easy reinventing the wheel when comes to jewelry tried n true but are so sweet might have invented the wheel a bit there aha thanks!
could you do more tutorials with cabochons. I really have a hard time with those.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a few ideas in early stages of planning, so stay tuned! In the meantime have you seen my classic wire-wrapped cabachon tutorial? ua-cam.com/video/2MSNPTM8LBs/v-deo.html
Really, the bail pliers are whats necessary besides a cutting tool. Round nose are
Ok but bail making pliers allow more control with the diameter of bends and loops. If your on a budget, get a nice cutter and bail pliers
Yes, I really love my bail making pliers - which is probably why they appear so often in my videos! 😃
Lily-Tree cool! Btw i love your wirework videos! I hope to see more of the art deco style soon! 😁
Great tutorial. Do you know the wire gauge(s) you used from the clasps?
Is there a tutorial for the bracelet that you attached the "J" hook clasp to? Love it!
Did you use a micro-torch for the balling technique on the knotted clasp?
Thanks Michelle. The wire was 1mm (18 gauge) for the J clasp and circle clasp and 0.8mm (20 gauge) for the S clasp. The bracelet is coming up in a future video, so keep an eye out for that! And yes, it's a little handheld micro torch. See my video on balling headpins for more info on the technique: ua-cam.com/video/62pl3mQxu-w/v-deo.html
Thanks for your quick reply. Knowing the gauge really helps. Found & bookmarked this chart for future reference. www.firemountaingems.com/resources/encyclobeadia/charts/6404
Happy the balling tech was done with a micro torch. Not as intimidated by that compared to others. Looking forward to seeing how to make the first bracelet in this vid. Thanks again!
What size wire are you using ? how much wire to use?
Hi Rose, I recommend between 0.8mm and 1mm wire for these clasps. I used 1mm (18 gauge) for the j clasp and the circle clasp, and 0.8mm for the knotted s clasp. I talk about lengths at the start of each section.
The wire was 1mm (18 gauge) for the J clasp and circle clasp and 0.8mm (20 gauge) for the S clasp
😊it would be nice to translate the measurements into inches
You can use Google to convert the measurements, I use it for all the tutorials that use inches that I need in centimeters.
Nice 👍 and perfect work 💼, but even you didn't read our comments,
Thanks. Actually, I real all the comments. Sorry that I've fallen behind in replying to them, but be assured I read and appreciate all the comments I receive.
Basic beading
PLEASE use a rubber mallet or something! You ruined the clasp with marks.
