Bangle clasps?

[enigma]

Thats clever, simple yet looks effective.

Hi Pat - just noticed this. Have you ever made a sliding baby bangle? I thought I would try but not sure where to start.

No I haven't, but I have the one that my father gave me when I was born. I will photograph it and send to you in a minute.

I have made an adult sized sliding baby bangle, but it keeps springing open when I wear it. Any ideas on that?

Meanwhile, I made this bangle with a hinged section that opens. Probably not what she's looking for though.

Yes, I know the answer to that one. If you open a baby bangle fully its not round, its more of a "B" shape, but not joined in the middle. Doing a PIC for Theresa in a tic.

That looks interesting Elaine. How does it stay closed?

When the bangle is open, its oval, not round.

I've often wondered how to make those baby bangles.

Cooksons had a blog with instructions on how to make one a while back:

It's dated March 2014, just in case the link doesn't take you straight there. Something else on my list of things to do.

Thanks for that Suzieq

Thank you Pat, I'll try reshaping mine.

Carole, there's a small pin through one end of the hinged bit which clicks into a sloping slot. There's a slight tension in the bangle when closed which also helps to prevent it coming open. This shows it a bit better:
