end clasp? by usr510 15 years ago

I see in some photos of larger bracelets a metal clasp that closes over all the end strings and makes a nice finish. Where does one get something like that, and what is it called? I have been surfing jewelry sites and not finding ones with the little chains.

you can get them at a craft store im not sure what theyre called but you can ask someone who works there and they'll probably know

I looked at my craft supply store, which has a large jewelry area, and there was nothing like it. I found something similar online called "ribbon clamp" but they don't have the chain. Anyone else know where to get them?

Well, I personally think that you can easily make it. Just get a piece of thicker aluminum (they sell it in various craft stores) and shape around your bracelet ends. once you have the shape, drill a hole in the middle and attach a clasp in the hole. That might be tricky, but it's up to you how to do this. You can attach a chain or a clasp and once you've done that, just secure the metal on the bracelet with special pliers and you're done. Sorry if its too complicated. Maybe it is a little too, and I've never tried it before, but...it should work.
