Copolymer Cord Instruction
How to attach a Magnetic Tube Clasp using Copolymer Cord with (step by step) instructions. Easily learn how to add a magnetic tube/cylinder clasp to a jewelry design with this technique.
The following example uses .8mm Copolymer cord and a 6x6 magnetic tube clasp.The beads are 8mm round magnetic hematite.
Tools required: Copolymer cord, Micro cutters and a metal surface. Always melt cord in a well ventilated area. Use caution when using any flame to melt cord: Keep all flammable materials away from working area.
Using a flame, melt one end of cord forming a ball - Try to melt (but not ignite) cord.
String your magnetic beads, and place your bracelet on a metal surface. (This will allow you to melt the other end of your cord without burning yourself).
Leave approximately 3/16" of cord exposed.
Slowly approach cut end with flame.
Cord will melt upon itself, forming a ball.
Melt until encased within the remaining clasp.
