Crimp ends are essential for finishing off your DIY costume jewelry, offering elegant attachment between cords and clasps. Available in a variety of shapes, materials and finishes, they adapt to many types of materials, such as wires, bias and ribbons. For best results, use nylon-tipped pliers and quality crimp ends, such as those in 925 Sterling Silver.
Here is how to use the end clips to use with 4mm flat cords
Material and advice :
You will need nylon jaw pliers to avoid any traces on the end clips,
thread or ribbon..., In the example below we have used the Liberty ribbon Emilia's Flowers Vert,
end clips, here below we have used Sterling silver 4mm end clips.
Step 1:
You'd better pour a drop of glue inside the end clips to get a solid finish.
Step 2:
Position the ribbon in the middle of the end clip.
Step 3:
Fold one side of the end clip, using the nylon jaw pliers.
Step 4:
Do the same on the other side.
The result is great!!!
For a better hold, it is preferable to put a dot of glue in the lace clip, before placing the cord.
Place the end of the cord in the center of the lace clip.
Close one side of the lace clip with the nylon-tipped pliers.
Do the same with the other side of the lace clip.
And this is the result!!!
