Beaded Ropes - How to Add a Toggle Clasp to a Beaded Rope

Weaving back into the beaded rope after reinforcing the clasp attachment.

Stitch back into the beaded rope to reinforce the clasp. You can repeat these steps as many times as you feel are necessary to secure the clasp, but make sure that you don't fill the beads so full of thread that they break or crack.

When you are satisfied with your attachment of the clasp, weave back into the beaded rope. Tie a few knots, adding a drop of glue if desired, weave the thread in a bit more, and then trim the thread close to the beadwork.
