4. Slip on one crimp bead and then the loop of the lobster claw clasp onto one end of the beading wire, and insert the end of the beading wire back through the clasp's loop and crimp bead.

5. Pull the beading wire to tighten it, but still make sure there is enough room for the clasp to move around a little.

6. Using a pair of crimping pliers, close the crimp bead around the beading wire, and use wire cutters to trim off excess beading wire.

7. Set this aside for now.
