Bead chain connectors (also known as ball chain clasps) are used to connect the ends of a bead chain, creating a closed loop. The process involves inserting the last ball of the chain into the connector and snapping it into place.
Here's a step-by-step explanation based on the reference video:
-
Position the Chain: Hold the two ends of the bead chain that you want to connect.
-
Insert the Last Ball: Take one end of the bead chain and insert the last ball into the bead chain connector.
-
Snap into Place: Pull the bead chain so the ball seats firmly inside the connector, snapping it into place. This secures the connection. You should hear or feel a click.
The reference video clearly demonstrates how to close a ball chain by inserting the last ball into the connector and snapping it into place.
