Step 2
Tie off the other end of the nylon wire bracelet by making a double knot around the looped edge of a lobster clasp finding.
Step 3
Squeeze a tiny dot of glue onto the knotted findings at each end so that they don't slip out of place. Give the bracelet about an hour to dry before wearing it.
Silk Cord Necklace
Step 1
Tie one end of the silk cord beaded necklace to the looped end of a ring-toggle jewelry finding. Make two knots in the silk cord and pull it tightly.
Step 2
Tie the other end of the beaded silk cord around the looped end of the matching piece of the toggle finding. Make two knots and pull the cord tightly to secure the knots.
Step 3
Squeeze a small amount of glue at the base of each knotted end. This step is completely optional, but it further secures the knots of the beaded silk.
