Iv'e had enough of watching this video for a while! LOL, now I'm going to make some clasps. Great video........ thank you much😁
Thankyou for adding another closer camera angle
Susan, you are the best at teaching us! Thanks for all the tools, tips and tricks.
Yes she does. She’s one of my favorites but trust me. She definitely makes it look easier than it is for me. But I love it.
I'm watching your video from 4 years ago but it is new video for me. I'm a newbie into bead makimg and this is a great way to help me with. Thank you 😊😊😊
Love your videos!!!! She explains a lot of things when it comes to working wire. Thank you sooo much!!!!!
Omg, that explains what I've been doing wrong when I try to make toggle clasps!! Thanks so much!

Thank you for showing me how to make Toggles and clasps!
What a great for measuring the toggle bar!
Thanks
Such great directions and such beautiful clasps !!! Thank you so much for sharing! 💜
I am not here to do something DIY to make it special. I gave up trying to find commercial lobster clasps that are not plated garbage mystery metal. That you for the guides! I know that these will not lose plating and tarnish.
Explanation is wonderful
Love the toogle
This is incredibly helpful!
Thank you for your good and helpful video 🙏❤️
Muy buen tutorial porque nos enseñaste como hacer cierres gracias por compartir saludos desde Reus Tarragona España chao.
Tysmmmmm
You always do a great job with explaining. I suggest that you explain how to open and close the S clasps if ever you revisit this idea.

I love your videos but the music is a bit distracting.
good job
Excellent!!! I love the items you're making and wonder if you 've ever made ear cuffs....thank you!
Great video, learning a lot. What’s a bench block? Also, where can you get those last two pliers?
I LOVE your videos, But- I can't see what you're doing a great deal of the time. The background is too light and it's too tiny. I'm an old lady so is it just me? It appears no one else has this problem or are people just not saying anything? Again, the videos are still very informative and enjoyable. Thanks!
Thanks for the great video. You mentioned you prefer silver wire vs. the artistic wire in your video. I see many types of wire online but what should I look for to ensure it is silver? I like the heavier gauges so if you could provide a link to where I can purchase that, I'd appreciate it.
I like the tray you are using were did you get it. Great instructions. Thanks.
I'm surprised you created a toggle without wrapped loops. I've watched too many customers tug and pull clasps on bracelets; they'd surely pull that loop open and then bring it in for repair.

Can you tell me where to get that wire swirled in one of your videos?
💙
DO you sell the wire rounder? I cant find it on the site.
What keeps the small loop of the toggle clasp from pulling open? I am learning to solder. Should that small loop be soldered?
How do you attach the s and j hooks to the end of your project
Hi there! I would love to order some basic tools for simple jewellery making. You mentioned a few different kinds of plyers here. I would love to buy some. I couldn't find the link to buy them. Thanks

Oh no! Sorry about that. These are called "acculoop pliers" and we are sold out of them at the moment. A quick internet search should get you to some on a few other jewelry making sales sites!

Hi Ximena! This tool is called a "wire rounder." It's used to file the ends of your wire. We don't' currently have one in stock at JTV, but a quick internet search might get you what you need. Also, you can use a triangle needle file. It takes a little longer, but does the same thing! Here is a link: www.jtv.com/product/triangle-needle-file/JST770?mcid=XSOjsyt Good luck and thanks for watching!
Do they contain toxic metals? I want to make jewelry without any toxicity in them because a lot of cheap jewelry are made like that.
@JewelSchool

As far as we know, none of the jewelry wire we use is considered toxic. We would not be able to use it to make jewelry or sell it. The FTC is a great watch dog for the jewelry industry and works hard to prevent this kind of thing. Now, that's not to say that someone's skin won't have a reaction to it. Unfortunately, there are people with metal allergies. If you have a worry in that regard, it's best to stick to those pure metals like .925 sterling or Karat gold, which can get quite expensive. The wire used here is called Parawire. It is a wire that has a base metal, usually copper and it has a non-tarnish color coating in either a golden, silver or rose color. The best thing you can do is to research jewelry wire and pick the one that is right for you! Hope this helps!
Hola muchas gracias Ud habla muy rápido por favor hágalo más lento
I'm surprised you didn't show HOW that "toggle" clasp works. Are we suppose to bend it to put it thru the loop? Only thing missing. Otherwise, good instructions.

Hi Ma Wi! Exactly how you described. Just feed the bar through the loop and then angle it down so the other side will fit through as well! Thanks for the suggestion. We may include this in a future video tutorial!
👍💯♥️

We are all out of our wire rounders, but a quick internet search for "Beadalon wire rounder" should get you to a link for one!
It would be so much easier to see the things you make with a black background
