How to Make a Clasp

Step 1: Grip a 4-5" piece of wire in the middle with a pair of round nose pliers. Push the wire around the pliers with your fingers until the wire is completely bent in half. Step 5: Make a loop using the Wire Wrap Technique with the remaining wire.
Step 2: Squeeze the bent end of the wire together with chain nose pliers until there is little to no space between the wire. Step 6: Gripping your wire right above the wrap, bend the two wires that are folded together at a 45 degree angle.
Step 3: Keeping the wires parallel, tightly grip with chain nose pliers an inch down from the folded tip of the wire. Step 7: Grab the middle of the folded wire with the middle of the round nose pliers and roll the wire around the pliers to form the clasp.
Step 4: Wrap one of the tail wires twice around the second wire and cut off the excess of wrapped wire. Step 8: Bend the tip of the clasp up with chain nose pliers.
