The first...where can I find the clasps needed to make zipper pulls? I have tried Walmart, and Michaels...nothing. Someone said maybe a sewing store? Would a store that specialized in jewlery making carry these?
Number two...I want to start making cord necklaces(the ones that have just 1 charm like a cross or whatever, with a knot above the charm and just a thick black cord...anyway, I need to know what kind of crimp or whatever I need to be able to connect the close clasp to the end as the cords are large and the normal crimps you would use for a beaded bracelet or necklace with the hook on them are too small.
Thanks for all your help! Anyway website links would be great too! :)
