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 sets.
Here is one way to attach clasps to kumihimo braids/cords:

1. Make a tight 'corkscrew' type whipping/wrap with a thinner thread such as C-Lon Micro Cord. 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.

Gold Filled Findings
What is Gold Filled :: 'Gold Filled' (also called 'Gold Overlay' or 'Rolled Gold') is a process where high heat and pressure are used to bond a thick layer of gold to a base metal (Sterling Silver or Jeweler's Brass). Gold findings, clasps made of 'Gold Fill' - meaning 14K Gold is bonded to the base metal such that 1/20th of the resulting piece (5%), by weight, consists of real Gold. Why use Gold Filled: Gold Fill is less expensive than pure Gold - making it more affordable.
