Glitter Gather Beaded Bracelet Step Three, Place the Silver E-Z Crimp Clasp on the Bracelet Ends

In this final step of the Glitter Gather Beaded Bracelet, add the E-Z Crimp Clasp to one end of the Glitter Gather Beaded Bracelet and crimp as directed on the package. These clasps are very easy to close and create a very strong grip on the beading media so the will hold the gather in place.

Once you have placed the E-Z Crimp Clasp on one side of the Glitter Gather Beaded Bracelet, turn the bracelet over, and push the beads together tightly, causing the Swarovski crystal dangles to gather together closely in the center of the bracelet. This will make the dangles look like one big, sparkling bead!

Once you are sure you have a tight gather on the dangles, place the second half of the E-Z Crimp Clasp on to the stringing media, slide it into place, add the tension required to maintain the gather and crimp.

Trim any wire ends protruding from the clasp, and your Glitter Gather Beaded Bracelet is ready to wear. However, if you go outdoors, don't forget the sunglasses; this bracelet lights up like sunshine on a clear day!
