There are simple tricks to make ill-fitted clothing or accessories fit nicely. I’m showing you these hacks in a multi-part series. Up today: how to close a clasp bracelet by yourself.

This is what you need

How it works

The shorter and more delicate the bracelet, the trickier the job. With the help of a bobby pin, you can gain some length, which gives you more leeway when closing it. Pull the bobby pin through the split ring and hold it tight. Now, put your bracelet around your wrist as you normally would and hook the lobster clasp to the ring. This simple trick doesn’t just speed things up in the morning but also keeps my stress levels down.
