How to Add a Closure for Polymer Clay Bead Necklaces

Hi, I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make a beautiful necklace out of polymer clay. In this next step we are going to add closure to our necklace. Before adding any closure you need crimped beads. Crimped beads are the best invention in the world in my option. It is a great way to seal off any necklace to prevent the closure from loosening, to hold everything into place and they are really easy to apply. Anybody can do it all you need is a pair of needle nose pliers. This is our crimp bead, here is our wire. Our wire is going to come out this side and we are going to attach the wire to a closure. The other end of the wire is going to come back inside of the crimp bead. The crimp bead as a little slice right here it is actually a cylinder and you can see where it way sliced together. We are going to take our needle nose pliers and we are going to squeeze on both sides of the crimp bead so that it folds in half like this. You have your wire coming out here and the closure right here. Once this is close you squeeze it tight so it becomes flat and that way it holds the wire into place.
