Add the Clasp With Seed Bead Loops
Fancy Tile Bead Bracelet Free Beading Pattern

Adding the clasp by using seed bead loops.

Jennifer VanBenschoten
To add the clasp, pick up 4 seed beads, pass needle through one hole of the clasp from back to front, pick up 4 seed beads, and pass through the seed bead you exited at the beginning of this step working in the same direction. Pull snugly and repeat the thread path a few times to reinforce.

Pass needle through the next Tila bead and the next seed bead and repeat until you have secured all three holes of the clasp with seed bead loops.

Weave the thread into the beadwork, knot, add a drop of glue if desired, weave in a bit more, and trim the thread close to the beadwork.

Add a new thread on the other side of the bracelet and repeat to secure the other half of the clasp.
