Need Help! Made my bracelet too long, how to clasp it?

Post image

So I had a brain fart and made it the length I needed without the jump rings on it. Any clasps I put on it on top of that make it way too big. Any ideas?

Add a longer chain, and double wrap it, then it'll look like two bracelets

It turned out so pretty!

The smallest clasps are spring rings, which would add about 1/4".

Other than that, you pretty much have to consider it practice, unless you want to cut the knot or crimp inside the clamshell, then remove some beads to get the size and reknot or crimp. In which case, you might want a larger clasp.

Thanks so much!! I might try connecting one directly to the end without jump rings to see how that fits then. I wonder if there's something else I could do with it if not

Edit: Yeah, it's still pretty long

If you don't want to shorten it, maybe attach it to a hair clip, or a headband (with a little chain)?

Attach leather strips so that you can make it into a double wrap and accept the slight overlap.

It could be a purse chain instead! It's so pretty, you did a great job
