| When you’re working with the bold, bright bombastic-ness that is vintage Lucite beads, it’s hard to finish off that piece with say, a humble little lobster claw clasp. Enter vintage Lucite clasps & buttons as closures. While we have found some Lucite clasps made by Best Plastics (the company who originally manufactured most of our vintage Lucite beads), buttons make a nice alternative & are readily available in more colors & sizes. All you do is loop your beading wire or thread through the button shank, using some seed beads on either side to lead into & out of the button. And on the other end, create a ‘lasso’ or a beaded loop of seed beads or crystals or some other small bead to loop around the button.
