How to Use Crimping Beads for Wire Jewelry

Video Transcript

Today we're going to learn how to learn how to use crimping beads. Crimping beads can be your best friend or your worst enemy depending, because they're very tiny. You can see right here how small they are. Microscopic almost. When I just dropped that just now shows why they can be your worst enemy. Since they're so small, they can be tough to handle. You want to make sure whenever you're storing these beads that you store them in a zip loc type of container. Otherwise, you will never find them again, especially if you have carpet. We have a necklace here. This is something that you can use the crimping beads for. Go ahead and thread this bead down right here. As you're working with beads, you can use your crimping to keep this in place. How these work is you take your pliers, either complete flat nose pliers, or the all in one pliers. I have a flat piece right there. I'm going to take my flat piece and grab the crimping wires being very careful not to grab a bead. If you do grab a bead when you're smashing this down, you will also smash your bead. I'm going to give a little distance there. Go ahead and crimp my bead. Now all of these are kept in place. That's how you use a crimping bead.
