Clamshell Knotcovers with silk or nylon thread

Things you'll need:

- Scissors
- Flexible needle
- Silk Cord
- Clamshells
- Clasp
- Closed Ring
- Glue

Instruction:

1. String the thread through the clamshell so the knot fit in the cup (inside the clam).   If you are using thin thread the knot may be too small so string a small seed bead to the end of the knot to prevent it from coming undone.

2. Close the clamshell over the knot.

2a. String your beads on the thread or cord.

3. Attach your clasp to the clamshell.

4. Close the hook portion of the clamshell to from a loop.

5. Finish the other side with another clamshell.
