To add the clasp, pick up 4 cylinder beads, one half of the clasp, and 4 cylinder beads. Pass through the bicone again and then repeat the thread path to reinforce.

Weave the thread into the bracelet, and tie a few half-hitch knots. Add a drop of glue to the knots if desired. Weave into the bracelet a bit more, then trim thread close to the beadwork.

Repeat for the other half of the clasp, using the tail thread.
