A Simple Polymer Clay Clasp, I Need Closure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Here's a simple clasp for your polymer creations! It does not require a template. I think it works best when you need a clasp of a smaller scale.
Cheers, Donna

Thank you Donna for sharing another and simplified way to do the clasps 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Donna you explane so clearely even my english is so limited I can un derstand everithing and it's a pleasure to follow your tutorials. I learnt so many things. You have done great works . Thank you👏
thank you, Franca!
You really are a clay clasp engineer🤩 love your cool ideas
Very nice. Would holding the drill bit on top of the clasp to find the depth and putting a piece of tape to show where to stop work? Carpenters do that so they don't drill through a piece of wood.
You are so generous with your tutorials Donna. 👌💕
I am so happy you have this channel. You have been an inspiration for me. Your work is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for this craft. ❤
Thank you so much, Lola!😊❤️
I usually just make a flat clay bead on one end with a hole in the clay that goes partially through and insert a magnet ,and make the channel for the cord from the other end of the necklace to lay in... then attach an opposite magnet on the cord at the other end of the necklace. It remains flat and the magnetic " clasp" is hidden.
Thank you so so much again Donna, interesting to watch 💜
It’s a simple little clasp, I think! 😊❤️
Thank you for sharing your brain! I would not have been able to logic this up in mine! Love your stuff! 💜💜
Thanks so much Donna 🙏🏽
Thank ou for sharing your great ideas with us.
Excellent tutorial!!! Thank you so much❤
Thank you, friends. julie, great idea to find the depth. Lol. Finding tape in my studio would be the hard part! Jo, I am working on getting them made again, should be fairly quick. The acrylic makes the process so easy, I hesitate to do a pdf! Linda, yes, I will do a tute on the more difficult one. I love it, it’s not really obvious how it works but it’s really a good closure. Thanks, again, friends, am glad you enjoyed the tute! Hugs, D❤️
Thank you for teaching.
You are very welcome❤️
Absolutely GREAT. Engineering fascinates me too.
love this clasp a lot you are very talented with engineering these things thanks for sharing
have a good one! 😃
Maggie, I love designing clasps! Hugs, D
I like this clasp a lot! You have such a great mind. 💗
All of the closures are fantastic, well done!
Fantastična ideja
Thank you for this! You explained it very well.
I hate it when I wear a necklace and it turns on my neck showing the clasp so this is a fabulous solution to that. Thank you Donna
I love the title!
Also, such a great piece, you’re showing us right now!
It cracked me up, too, marilyn!
Have always admired your work . Thank you so much for sharing. Can you tell me when we will be able to buy black out in stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels? I also will add a tip that I do for not drilling through my pieces . I lay my drill bit down and measure how long it need to be and mark it with a piece of painters tape. I have been doing this for years with my wood working as well.
Do you put the painter's tape on the drill bit? I just recently saw someone on UA-cam do this to control the depth of the hole.
I was just having a quick search to see if anyone else has suggested the tape. Thats what I do as well, nice pick up Sharon
could you please show us the clasp that sits beautifully. ( the first one)I know you said you wouldn't put it on a piece that you would sell but I love the way it sits. Thats how I would like my piece to be finished?
❤️
I love this thank you 😊 can I ask though 😀 would you consider selling your plastic clasp template as a downloadable printable PDF for us international peeps? I love the idea of it but shipping makes it too expensive. Many thanks again for this wonderful tute.
Thank you for the reply Donna :) I can understand your reluctance to produce a pdf of the template we could do with a UK or EU seller
Jo, Cara Jane has a few and I actually have them made in the UK! If you still have need of one, please email me at dkkato@gmail.com. Cheers, D!
@Donna Kato - A Life In Polymer Clay Hi Donna thank you for getting back to me 😀 I did manage to get a template through Cara I just haven't had chance to use it yet. I plan on making a few blanks in one go ready to decorate to match the piece I have made at the time. Thank you again for taking time out to get back to me
You must have been an engineer in a previous life.
Genius! What about putting the cord that attaches in the center of clasp come out the side of the bigger round piece that the clasp is attached to
Hi Theresa, check out the original clasp video! I think I did that with that one❤️
Excellent designs, This has always been a problem for myself too especially for the larger designs. I'm going to make this design but I would love to purchase the templates too will they be available soon? And thank you for the great tutorial!!!
Great tutorial... By the way I have been looking for your Marxit tool. Where do i find it in Canada or elsewhere ?
I don't know where to find the Chinese knock off! Theyre out there. I'll let everyone know when I find them. Cheers!
You are an engineer! Do you have a degree in engineering?? You must! ... Its just amazing.
Lol. No but I have a lot of engineer nephews and my brother is an architect. My pops was a body and fender man and mom was a respiratory therapist. I like puzzles and solving problems! 😜❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt That's amazing. Your ability to create the way you do with the measuring, and configuration of the parts is really a rare talent. I bet you were that kid that could solve the Rubix cube with her eyes closed. 😂 ..I wonder which one you inherited your artistic talents from. My mom is an artist and my dad was a math guy and School Principal. So, its very clear that my love of creating "things" comes from my mother.
Wherecan I get the template for the hook clasp- and is there a tutorial for that.
Hi Renate, I’m having more made - ran out! Soon, I hope. ❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt I live in Germany ,but moveing to the states soon can you let me know the details cost etc., and send to my sisters house in New York when it arrives by you. No rush Just so that you do not have to send here ,and I send to her house.
