"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. And today, we're making a necklace out of wire and coaxial cable. We've tied all of our knots and we've attached everything, all the beads and everything where they need to go. Now I'm just going to take a tiny bit of the glue that we've been using all along, and I'm just going to put a tiny bit in each of the knots. It will glue--this glue dries clear so you'll never see it. But--then these knots won't come undone if you wear this bracelet a lot. Wire, where it's not roped, or something else will tend to come loose really easy. So we'll just going to put a tiny, tiny bit of glue on all of the knots. Actually, I'm just going to do that knot on the outside. The inside knots, we don't need to worry even if they do come undone. The necklace or the bracelet isn't going to go anywhere. I'll put the glue in and lay it out and let it dry. After it dries, we will put the clasp in the back, tie a knot in the end, and then I'll actually show you how to use the clasp just like a regular necklace. Takes a little bit of practice but it's pretty easy once you know how. So we'll do that next."
