Why use a simple clasp when there is an art bead that can do the job! Be creative, you can mix and match components for an even more customized design. I like to add a tiny bit of chain or a few extra jump rings so that the toggle bar can easily fit through the hole.
Another design tip: use fancy glass headpins like Cindy Gimbrone’s Double Dips to create a toggle bar for your clasp.

Thanks for sharing the inspiration!
Enjoy the day!

Thanks for sharing some super sources for "art" clasps !
Nothing makes me more disappointed than to see a good design spoiled by a boring mass produced clasp!
