Sterling Silver and Gold Filled Findings for Kumihimo Braids and Cords

Findings for Kumihimo Braids and Cords

The sterling silver and gold filled clasps and cord ends offered below are all manufactured, usually each component is sold separately. For your convenience many are available as assembled sets.

Here is one way to attach clasps to kumihimo braids/cords:
1. Make a tight corkscrew type whipping/wrap with a thinner thread. The space left between each turn of the wrap allows the glue to penetrate the inner cords.
2. Glue ends with super glue. Let dry.
3. Cut the ends leaving enough glued length to insert into clasp.
4. Glue into clasp with super glue or 5-minute epoxy.
Note: File the inside of the clasp for better adhesion.

Ready made clasps that work for kumihimo braids and cord ends are difficult to find. I use these a lot even though I often make my own clasps for special pieces, soldering wire and tubes...
