Crimping A Box Bracelet

This is John Mendez with Expert Village and we are going to learn how to crimp that one by one millimeter bead. So we are going to put it right in the center of that hole on these pliers and very firmly squeeze down. And I like to squeeze it once and then squeeze it with both my hands just to make sure that it gets closed. That first, that first, this first action is going to close it, that is where it's going to catch. And then it will kind of look like a ravioli. And what you will want to do is go in and squeeze it in the opposite direction of that ravioli. What that is going to do is it's starting to take shape, into a round shape. And then you can just play with it and keep moving the plier in a circular motion around that crimp bead and it turns into a really nice clean round shape. Since you have an extra tail there, you will want to go ahead and use your cutters and cut that piece off so that its a nice clean edge. That is the first strand of four that we are going to put on this clasp.
