These 3x2 mm crimp beads are a must-have for securing and neatly finishing your elastic cord projects.
No more knots that break on your elastic cords! These crimp beads are specially designed for elastic cords. They’re longer than standard crimp beads, which allows them to securely hold slippery cords without needing to tie a knot. They measure 3 mm in height and 2 mm in outer diameter, and are suitable for 0.8 mm elastic cords.
How do you use these crimp tubes?
These crimp tubes are particularly useful for making elastic bracelets. Simply thread the elastic cord through the tube, then crimp it using a crimping plier to securely lock the cord in place. For extra security, you can add a small amount of glue inside the tube just before crimping it. This technique ensures a neat finish, with no visible knots, on simple creations like beaded bracelets or stretchy necklaces.
Whether you’re just starting out in DIY jewelry making or already have some experience, there are resources available to guide you. The tutorials offer concrete and accessible designs, while the technical guides provide practical advice on basic techniques such as choosing the right wire, measuring out the right amount of glue, and using the appropriate pliers.
