What are findings? They are: bead tips, barrel clasps, hook and eye clasps, spring-rings, jump-ring clasps, and earring hooks. These are attached to your work so that it can be worn. To attach a clasp to my work, you should usually attach a bead tip to your piece first. The clasp can be added to the bead tip later with a pair of pliers. To attach a bead tip to your piece, position the needle in the main body where you want the clasp to go. Pick up a bead on the needle and pass the needle through the bottom of the bead tip (the hook should be on top). Pick up another bead. Pass the needle through the top of the bead tip, down through the bead and into the main body of the piece. Remember, this is where your piece will take the most stress, so pass the needle back and forth a few times.
