Wire Wrap Jewelry

How to Make a Clover Clasp

This wire wrapped jewelry clasp always gets a thumbs up from everyone who sees it - and it's very easy to make!

You'll need these supplies:

• wire

You'll need these tools:

• hammer
• steel plate or anvil
• Bent nose or chain nose plyers
• flat nose pliers are optional
• round nose pliers
• file

1.) Cut 2 inches of wire with your flush cutters. Make a loop and flatten it.

3.) Wrap the end of the wire at least one full turn just above the smaller loop. I used my flat nose pliers to hold the large loop while wrapping. You can use your chain nose pliers. Hammer the larger loop flat at the curve.

4.) Begin by making the clover the same way you make clover links, with one exception. You need to make the leaves of the clover in a clockwise fashion so that the open leaf is not across from the open hook. Look at the picture at the top of the page to see where the 2nd open leaf is. You don't want this across from the hook because that will make the clasp less strong.
