Thread lobster claw clasp onto one end of wire, wrap free end of wire around loop several times and weave in loose end. Form loop from other end of wire, wrap free end of wire around base of loop several times and weave in end or (if using jump ring) thread jump ring onto wire end, wrap free end of wire around wire at the base of the jump ring and weave in end.
