The principle of Hiilos interchangeable clasps is simple. A end cap is attached to the bracelet which allows it to then be slid into the clasps.

How to best finish your straps for use with these end caps:

• Plan to weave a length of 1 cm less than your wrist circumference. (you will then calibrate with your own measurements depending on how you like to wear the bracelets)
• Then the finish that I propose to you is different depending on whether you are doing vertical or horizontal weaving

In any case, if necessary, you can widen the slit of the tip with the tip of a knife, but personally I almost never do it

Weaving peyote horizontal (or brick stitch)

It's the easiest for these clasps because it's what slides the best.

I advise you in any case to finish each side with at least one row of brick stitch, which avoids any accident on the weaving itself during assembly.

Here is the number of beads that the last row must have to fit perfectly into the tip:

• 10 mm tip: 5 beads
• 20 mm tip: 11 beads
• 40 mm tip: 22 beads

If the bracelet is wider, I reduce the number of beads on a few rows so that the last row is the desired width. Personally, I think it looks nicer when the bracelet is a little wider and the clasp...

Bracelet larger than the clasp

If the bracelet is significantly wider than the clasp, I make 3 rows with this dimension at the end, or I gradually decrease it over several rows to reach the desired width on the last row. (It is essential to make several rows because otherwise the clasp will be obstructed by the rows above.)

This example shows a 55mm bracelet that can be fitted with a 45mm clasp.

Vertical peyote weaving(regular weaving)

Here's the number of beads the last row should have to fit perfectly into the end cap:

• 10mm end cap: 7 beads
• 20mm end cap: 13 beads
• 40mm end caps: 29 beads

Since the beads straddle two rows, it's more difficult. So I cheat a little for the last row to get a straight line!

Weave a final row by making a loop above the beads of the previous row. Make a loop on the first bead, thread the beads two by two, and pass through the second bead to continue. Pass through the beads twice to secure it.

Bracelet wider than the endcaps

If the bracelet is really wider than the clasp, I make 3 rows with this dimension at the end to reach 22 beads on the last row (It is imperative to make several rows because otherwise the clasp will be hampered by the rows above.)

Once your last rank is complete

1. Slide the tip over this row of beads
2. Close the flip
3. Slide the clasp over the end cap. You can now change the clasp at will.
