"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. And today, we're making a bracelet out of wire and coaxial cable. We're pretty much done. We're down to adding the clasp at the end. We've put glue on the ends of the knots so they won't come undone. We put glue around the clasp for the charm. Now, all we have to do is a tie a knot in the end. One end should be a little bit longer than the other. So we go to center. This end is a little bit longer than that end. So we're going to tie a knot in this end, and we're not going to pull it all the way tight because we're going to put the safety pin in. And we're actually going to pull through one side of the knot. We actually want to pull up in here, just like it was the post of the safety pin. Because the safety pin is actually not going to set up in there. So we're actually going to wanna--this part is kinda hard. The wire doesn't want to go in there so I'm going to get it up where it's going to want to pull through. I'll take my pliers and force it up in there. So now that's not going to come out and we can just tighten the knot. The knot is actually not what's even keeping it in. That's just setting in there like the post from the safety pin, like I said before. So pull that knot as tight as you can get it. You want to have to pull on the safety pin and pull down on the knot. It's fairly tight, and we can cut that excess of that off. And just like before, I want to put a little bit of glue on here and let it dry before we tie the final knot and clasp--use the clasp. So I'll put a little bit glue. Let that dry and then we will tie the final knot and use the clasp next."
