Continue weaving from the loop created.

Adapting a bead weave to the clasp loom

Once you've finished weaving, don't tuck the threads into the weave. Wrap the weave around the clasp bar, then attach the end of the weave to the rest of the weave, securing the remaining threads in the weave. Do the same on the other side, paying attention to the direction of the sliding clasp.
