Hi, this is Julie with beadaholique.com and now a lot of these are magnetic and box ones so i'm going to quickly show you some of them and show you how they work so over here we have some nice little round ones i love using these for strong projects in particular because it just looked like another bead and they come apart like that so you have that nice magnet it's quite strong up here we have some nice magnetic clasps for multi strand bracelets and what i like about these is that magnet is really strong and it also has these little tabs so you keep and get away with using some heavier beads with these guys like gemstones over here we've got these little flower ones and i like it because the top comes off the flower so it's a little unexpected and it's got the magnet a whole different bunch here of pretty little box clasps a lot of them with multi strand loops available so that's fun and of course on the website i'll give you the full details of all of these i'm just doing a quick overview and then here you can glue in some braids or cord and it's a snake eating its own tail and then some nice ones for flat cord or leather and again magnetic with tabs so that's really secure anchors which i love another little petite magnetic clasp so then we have these really nice barrel shaped magnetic clasps i instantly thought kumihimo i think they'd be really great for necklaces and bracelets if you are going to be using a clasp like this that is magnetic always separate out the two halves before you glue your braids in place you just don't want to make sure that no glue when you fill the well here accidentally seeps out right around the edge of the magnet they won't affect the magnet but if this was inserted when he did that it could potentially glue the two halves together so that's just something to keep in mind and i do want to show you a quick trick if you ever have a clasp like this so the out side edge is a solid piece that's really a cool design and this second half of the class is actually inserted fully into that barrel and is magnetic so how do you get it out is the key once your bracelet is done or your necklace you won't have a problem but initially what you'll do is you'll take your chain nose pliers insert them into the well and pull it out just like that and then you've got your two halves to then glue your braid or whatever you're gluing in place in place - but cool design so all of these are available right now at beadaholique you can check them out and do check out their full product listing for things like dimension how many loops what type of clasp it is and so forth I hope you enjoyed this quick overview video please do check out all our other videos at beadaholique.com you
