How to Tie a Knot Clasp
When you're creating a piece of jewelry, it's important to finish it properly so it will stay on without unraveling or falling off. Each piece of jewelry you make needs a clasp to attach to a closure in order to stay together. Tying a knot clasp out of two overhead knots is easy, and can be finished in just minutes. It's a simple and secure way to begin a necklace or bracelet that you'll be proud to wear or give as a gift.
