" Hello my name is Sabirah Parker I am one of the owners of Beadalicious located at 34 East Landgo Street in Baltimore, Maryland on behalf of Expert Village I like to welcome you back to creating beaded jewelry. We will continue with segment twelve hook and eye clasp presented by Denise Baker. Thank you! Hook and eye clasp they could actually be made by a skilled ... with stiff wire or even a clay actually. These clasp are strong and very simple to use they just slide right in and hold. There is not much to it. They are better for necklace and bracelets because a bracelets you have so much movement of your arm. You bang against things and it would cause it to pop open and pop it loose. You don't want to loose you jewelry like that. So if you want to use something like this make sure you have a large on like this one is. This one is pretty good for a bracelet actually but the one that I made with the stiff wire and bent are usually meant for necklaces only. That is it for this segment and thank you and have a good evening."
