    3.Once you’re done stringing the beaded chain, add the clasp. Thread through a couple more times to strengthen it. Bring the thread back through the the entire chain to get to the other side. Add the other side of the clasp. Remove the stop bead and tie the thread ends together. Glue the cabochon into the clasp.
    There are endless possibilities of how you can use the component design from the Chrysanthemum Necklace. Make earrings, bracelets, a ring or even a cute brooch. Handmade beaded projects make great heartfelt gifts.

    Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

    Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
