The Magnetic Clasp Video
I spent a couple of months developing this design and I'm finally able to share it with you! Learn how to make this magnetic clasp for bracelets and necklaces. It's so easy to put on and take off yet, it's very strong. This is a challenging project!

Materials List:
*Large, outer tubing. Create or purchase tubing that has an ID of at least 6.4 up to 6.5 millimeters. If you are making the tubing, create it from a 22 gauge blank. The width of the blank should be slightly less than 23 millimeters (the metal stretches a bit and is hard to get exact) and the length should be at least 5 centimeters or longer for ease in handling and to have enough to make several clasps. Note: I have not been able to source commercially made tubing that fits this criterion. (See my video below).
*Interior tubing. Create or purchase a telescoping piece of tubing that has an external diameter of no more than 6.4 millimeters. Rio Grande is the only place I've found, that carries a 6.35 mm external diameter tubing. Their item number is: 10090714.
*2, 20 gauge, 3-millimeter jump rings
*2, 16 gauge, 7.5-millimeter jump rings
*2, bead caps. If you have one that fits on the outer tubing, use that or make one (see my video, below).
*Gallery wire, 4-millimeter height, at least 4 centimeters long.
*Magnets. Either purchase 4, 1/4" X 1/16" neodymium magnets, or 1, 1/4" X 1/16" and 1, 3/16", OR 2, 1/4" X 1/16" and 1, 1/4" X 1/8" magnets.
