Whether you make beads yourself, or purchase them, we hope you will also find yourself paying homage to this art, just as we have, with necklaces, earrings, and bracelets-many of which are so simple to make, you can complete them in just one evening.
In most cases, using crimping pliers creates a smoother, more professional looking crimp. Also, folded crimps can be tucked inside large-hole beads. But we realize that many new beaders invest in just the basic tools, such as chainnose and roundnose pliers, when they start.
A crimp bead can be flattened with chainnose pliers. The difference will not be discernible except with the most careful scrutiny, and flattened crimps create a strong hold. One thing to watch when crimping with chainnose pliers: The flattened crimp bead can create sharp edges that may irritate skin. |
