This clasp is a Beadalon Slide Connector (4.5mm / 0.17 Inch and 20mm / 0.79 Inch) in gold. It suits a dainty bracelet which needs an adjustable fitting. Lucky is elegant and classy and needed something exactly like this clasp!
They are really easy to fit because you just have to attach the two bead slides, one to each end. The clasp comes with the lobster clasp and chain already attached. The bracelet I made was 16 size 11 Miyuki delicas wide.
Begin by finishing all threads and then add a new thread ready to add the bead slide beads.
Stitch through until you exit the bead highlighted blue as shown.
I used size 11 seed beads for the bead slide beads. Pick up one bead slide bead.
Stitch back through the bead highlighted blue, passing through in the same direction as before so that the bead slide bead sits over the bead highlighted blue.
Move through to the next high bead, highlighted blue and add another bead slide bead in the same way.
Continue adding bead slide beads in the same way to all the high beads.
Each bead slide has a slit down the side and at the ends of the tube there are bendable flaps. Make sure one flap is tight to the tube and the other one is open. Slide each of the bead slide beads in to the tube so that the threads between the bead slide beads and the peyote bracelet beadwork fit into the slot. All the peyote delicas sit outside the bead slide. Once you have worked all the bead slide beads into the tube, close the second flap of the bead slide.
