Adding Closures to Bracelets
Hi. I'm Melina and I'm with Expert Village and I'm going to show you how to make a beautiful transfer polymer bracelet. In the next step we're going to add a closure to our bracelet. So what we're going to do is we're going to take two crimp beads and you're going to put your wire through them and then you're going to crunch them and that's going to hold on to the wire. You put a crimp bead in the wire and then you put a clasp. One end of the clasp. Then you fold it over. If you want you can do just a general extra knot and you're going to pull through. And if you have needle nose pliers you definitely want to use them. So we're going to put this extra wire end through the crimp bead. Take your needle nose pliers. You're going to press down right where you see this line and you're going to flatten the crimp. And then you're going to turn it and you're going to flatten again. Like this. And this is not something you can do by hand. You definitely need needle nose pliers. And you're going to get a nice solid closure. There's no way that's coming off. Then we're just going to trim the excess wire.
