Step 16: Using the tail thread, repeat Steps 10-15 to attach the other half of the clasp.

Weave both the working and tail threads into the beadwork and tie several half-hitch knots. Remove the excess.

Your bracelet is now complete!

Note: You don't have to add your clasp as described in Steps 10-15. I just felt like doing something a little different than I normally would. 

Feel free to use an end cap to attach your clasp instead. You might need to take your beadwork along to the shop and fit what size you'll need.
