These gold-colored crimp beads are essential jewelry findings for attaching and securing an elastic cord in your DIY projects.
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 cord in place without the need for a knot.
Their elongated cylindrical shape provides a better grip on the cord and a more secure hold than a traditional round bead.
These tubes are cylindrical with a through-hole, sized to accommodate a 0.8 mmelastic cord. The tubes are 3 mm tall with an outer diameter of 2 mm, making them discreet yet effective elements in a design.
What can you do with these crimp tubes?
These crimp tubes are particularly useful for making elastic bracelets with seed beads, glass beads, or natural stone beads. For maximum security, you can add a small amount of glue inside the tube just before crimping it. For a more professional result, we recommend using crimping pliers: they provide a more secure hold and prevent damage to the thread.
Whether you’re new to DIY jewelry making or already have experience, technical guides and tutorials are available to help you use findings, choose the right tools, and follow best practices for assembly. It’s a great starting point to progress at your own pace and create beautiful pieces.
