What are crimp beads or tubes used for?
These are small beads used to attach the clasp of a necklace or bracelet, or to hold one or more beads in place on jewelry when you want to space them out.
They’re also essential when working with cable wire.
For a neat finish, we recommendusing crimp bead caps.
Instructions for using crimp beads:
1. String beads—for example, onto a wire—then thread on a crimp bead.
2. Thread on a clasp.
3. Thread the wire back through the crimp bead and the other beads.
4. Crimp the crimp bead using appropriate pliers.
5. For a perfect finish, place a crimp cap on the end of the pliers and squeeze it onto the crimp bead to hide it.
