Thanks for that, BWeaves-- I can picture it clearly.

You did a really nice job on those-- and yes to using more thread than you think you'll need! Thread is cheap, and it's a major pain to run out too soon.

BWeaves, how do you attach the other end of the clasp and finish it?

Interesting-- I've never strung beads using that method.

Maybe try silicone bead bumpers in place of knots? They come in 2 sizes in black, clear, gold, silver and white. I use the larger ones.
