These silver-colored metal crimp beads are a must-have for securing and finishing your DIY jewelry creations. They slide onto an elastic cord and are crimped shut with pliers to hold knots firmly in place and ensure a neat, long-lasting finish.
You’re probably thinking that crimp beads aren’t meant for elastic cords… and you’re usually right! But these crimp tubes are specially designed for elastic cords. They hold the cords in place without the need for knots.
They’re longer than standard crimp beads, which allows them to grip slippery cords more effectively. Their smooth, discreet silver-plated brass tube shape blends easily into a design without drawing attention. They’re suitable for 0.5 mm elastic cords. For the best results, we recommend using a crimping plier rather than standard pliers to ensure a secure hold and a neat finish. For added security, you can also apply a small amount of glue inside the tube just before crimping it.
What can you do with these crimp tubes?
These tubes are perfect for making elastic bracelets with glass beads, seed beads, or natural beads. They allow you to secure the ends of an elastic cord neatly and discreetly, without having to tie a knot that might become unreliable over time.
