Great video, it really showed me up-close what I should've been doing.

[@k.s4075]

Beautifully explained..thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

[@loreenfavia1246]

It looks so easy, doesn't it? I have been having the worst time getting my crimps to work properly. I am going to follow your instructions to the letter and am also going to try the all-in-one tool. Thanks for telling us about it!

[@saraht7890]

Thank you so much. Excellent demonstration! Great closeup.

[@oliviawooten6219]

Thanks. Very informative clear instructions

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

Thank you very much for this tip. This is exactly what I needed right now

[@pamelaswords989]

Very clear and informative - Thank you! please advise the type of wire that was used in this video

[@selinkaplan39]

Thank you for this video, i really appreciate the explanation.

[@theoriginalkeepercreek]

New to this, I appreciate the informative video. Who knew? Now I do - Thanks!

[@garnetjohnson763]

This us FABULOUS. I haven't done crimps for 30 years cause i wasn't doing them right. 😆

[@pauljackson6296]

Thank you for your great video. Can someone please tell be the best size wire for threading beads with approx 1mm holes?

[@mehetabellemarquis]

Too bad that the demonstrator moved out of camera range when making the second crimp. That was what I wanted to learn.

[@ellenscusa6504]

am having problems with my crimping tube and crimp bead falling to pieces when trying to crimp them. I have used different brands and types. I even had them fall apart when they were gold. I dont understand what I am doing wrong. If I squeeze lighter they don't bend. What is a good brand and type that won't break apart? I would like to use them for making bracelets. Ty

[@jessicawing1745]

Did you ever find a solution? I’m having the same problem

[@timelessmoments9829]

I'm having the same problem as well. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

[@oklasooners09]

This video helped me out so much

[@1994abbygirl]

It's the other end I have problems with after all the beads are on. Maybe you could make a video on that! I really struggle getting the crimp bead down far enough close to the beads. Thanks

[@houseofgemsonline]

1994abbygirl So you are just left with that extra unwanted wiggle room?

[@1994abbygirl]

houseofgemsonline Yup!

[@1015SaturdayNight]

1994abbygirl Yep same here!

[@lindacrsn5]

1994abbygirl yessss!! Same here!!👍🏼

[@denisebraisby4251]

Same here, so frustrating after stringing all the heads and can't get crimp to hold

[@maisakura9672]

Can you link the wire you're using?

[@shrug_shrugsly]

Very helpful!

[@eascusa]

How come some other videos on this they are doing the other way around. First the crescent shape and then the oval? I notice that different people , different ways. But shouldn't there just be a certain way? Yours look the nicest to me. For me it doesn't seem to matter because no matter what I try, a tube or a bead crimp , I can never do it right. My crimps end up literally falling apart. And I have tried different brands and types. They don't want to fold over for me. I think I may be getting them too small maybe. Can you recommend a size and brand for me to practice on that pretty much can go on any bracelet piece, especially stretchy bracelets? TY

[@barbaral9453]

If you are having trouble with crimps working buy twisted crimp & only pliers needed pricey but really solves your problem. I have done this and never looked back to get it to work.

[@IMRad4JC]

What about adding on a crimp COVER to hide the not-so-pretty crimp bead? WHAT SIZE covers go on what size beads/tubes?

[@UU-ww6hc]

Can I double thin cable to make it stronger if I don't have thick cable ?

[@heartquaked]

Thank you! 😄🌸

[@rachels4573]

Thank you for this 😊

[@teresaproctor9448]

Great video. Thank you! That helps a lot.

[@GlitterCrush101]

Hi can i ask what kind of wire you are using that doesnt easily bend? Is that tiger tail wire or cable wire?

[@houseofgemsonline]

Hello ! Tiger tail wire is much more flexible , the one being shown in video are Beadalon brand(cable wire) . For both flexibility and durability we recommend Beadalon.

[@texasgigi3684]

Thanks for this video. But what about crimps for very fine jewelry chains? We need a video on that!

[@emobiscuit6]

Great video!

[@edithpierce5334]

Thank you for your excellent instructions!

[@caelidhg6261]

I have really only used the crimp tubes... not the bead crimps.. (the round ones) and I tried using them and the first crimp it flattened the bead.. and I went to "crimp" it on the 2nd go round the crimp bead shattered.. it was too brittle for two.. Is ther ea special crimp plier you use for round crimp beads?

[@susanstancliff2937]

Thank you!

[@brigettekellyramos-murray4960]

I’m making an Anklet bracelet do I measure where I started beading or the whole thing including the clasp?

[@deenahahmed3814]

whole thing including the clasp

[@angeliquesimmons6531]

Thank you, thank you been doing this wrong for so long!!!!!

[@dianepeter3625]

I have issues with crimp beads, no matter how I do them they always fall apart in various ways. I have to use crimp tubes.

[@caelidhg6261]

I have only used the tubes but today I tried. and you are right.. they fall apart...

[@annwarnecke3166]

Very helpful, thank you

[@honourdrew2633]

Thank you! Simple and right to the point! I needed this!

[@monalishasingha1856]

Hey which wire it is

[@millejno]

what if u don't have crimps?

[@curiousneko]

Thank you so much!

[@sevenirises]

❤Thank you!

[@armanime3497]

Where do you get the string ?

[@joyevans8454]

how about twisted crimp tubes

[@Shilpakala]

Thnks

[@attumsky123]

I love your voice

[@valariemeltzer1059]

No one cuts the extra wire to the crimp it makes the ends point downward I told someone that worked for a bead seller as a jewelry maker and instructor and she now knows to leave about an inch of wire to keep the ends from pointing downward. Because I tried it her way and it did not look right at all so I tried it my way and it was perfect. I've seen other professionals doing this as well. But this tutorial is not for the bulldog crimp which this video was listed under. But never cut that extra piece unless it's over 1 inch.

[@76sweetjane07]

❤❤❤

[@CardiganBabe]

i can't see the most important part

[@Miffny]

I don't use wire I was going to use cord it's doing my head in :(

[@enkilKINGofKEMET]

It's been a year since your comment so I'm sure you know already, but just in case.. there are similar bits made that you just fold over the end of your cord, and they have a little circle on the end to put a jump ring on.

[@tarinisawant6604]

Couldn't get to see what I actually wanted coz the demo was out of focus and frame as well

[@eric60605lmt]

(Sigh). Did you not watch the finished video after you made it? The crucial element of the tutorial was out of focus and off screen! And you whip thru the process at full speed! Sorry, but this doesn't help me much.

[@cynthiadegerlund8105]

Thank you so much!
