custom cool
playful peyote toggle clasps
Finish your next project with this
easily customizable toggle clasp.
Not only are the gold collars fun
to play with because they slide
around the toggle ring, but they
also help hold the toggle bar in
place when worn.
ARTIST’S TIp
Attach your design to this clasp any number of ways: For beadwoven designs,
stitch the ends of your bracelet or necklace directly into the B beads of the
ring and bar. For designs strung on beading wire, string 1 crimp tube, enough
seed beads to cover the wire, and the ring; pass back through the tube and
crimp. For the bar, attach 2 collars 1 bead space apart in Step 3 and attach
the beading wire as before, allowing the wire to nestle between the collars.
