How to Use Crimp Beads with Loops

[@dh6035]

Nine years later and this is what I needed! 🤯 Thanks! 🤗

[@katiegrinstead8605]

ditto 😂

[@chantaleboutcher5070]

I'm just starting out learning how to make jewelry and this tutorial really helped me out! It was very straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you!

[@beadaholique]

Hi! You really need crimping pliers vs. flat nose pliers to get that good solid securement.

[@CamdenSmithNaples]

Does the bed Actually hold really well because I’ve always liked the tubes because you loop back in and then cramp and you can run the wire down. This just seems like if you had too much weight on the necklace like more than a pound it would come out is that the case or not

[@Thiswillbeourlife]

Thank you for the video! ❤ Where can I buy these from? They seem to be of really good quality. Can i buy them online?

[@Unlockurheart]

wow I have a beaded chain that I used & thought it had to be soldered shut, daaahhh❣️I did not know till u told me, lol 🙂

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hi, thank you for showing us how to use a crimp tube. I would like to ask you how to use the crimp tube to secure a ball chain and what size of crimp tube to be used, for example for a 1.5 ball chain. And another query, how does the tube not break while pressing it with the tool? Thank you for your time and help.

[@BoojiePanda]

Oh wow... I've been wanting to know what those were called. I ordered an unfinished chain by accident.. now I know what I need to finish it!

[@erinfarrell9961]

I was trying to use this on a box chain and after the first cramp when I would turn it to do the other side when I would squeeze it would then flatten the part I was squeezing but open up the other side that I had just crimped shut

[@dianahighfield886]

I have a necklace with beads on 22 gauge gold color wire. Could I use this crimp tube on that? Would it need another size? Thanks Diana

[@chwgyi]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@carenome1]

I've seen some of these on Amazon and ebay. But they look really heavy duty and uncrimpable. Is there a dif?

[@armanime3497]

So you can use these with the gold filled beaded jewerly like the clear stretch they use

[@emilykelley4597]

That’s what I wanna know

[@SAstonFamily]

Thx for this video!! I had no idea hor to use them. 😊📿🫶🏻

[@ZZ-yx4bz]

Thank you great video calm easy to follow thanks for the tips.

[@beadaholique]

Glad we could help :)

[@samjones2790]

Can you used this with beading wire too? Or only for chains?

[@beadaholique]

Yes you can use these with beading wire.

[@naturalturkishbath4504]

Great video thank you very much. Could crimp beads with loops be also used with 49 strand wire ?

[@beadaholique]

Yes, you should be able to use these with 49 strand wire.

[@erynnecortz]

On Etsy, it shows that these are only useful for leather cords. Would I be able to use this on a box chain?

[@beadaholique]

I'm not sure these would hold as well on box chain as they do on the beading chain you see in the video. Beading chain is a little sturdier, it won't compress as much when closing the crimp onto it. However I think if you wanted to add a small bit of glue to the crimp before you closed it then it would hold perfectly. GS Hypo Cement is what I'd recommend beadaholique.com/products/g-s-hypo-cement-precise-applicator-essential

[@Bkallday111]

So helpful! Would this work with two ends of the chain in one crimp bead?

[@beadaholique]

That might work with a large enough crimp, we've done something similar with wire in order to make a claspless necklace: beadaholique.com/collections/instructional-beading-videos/products/how-to-finish-a-strung-necklace-without-a-clasp

[@Andrea9223-i6r]

Can this be done using nylon cord?

[@beadaholique]

Hi, I would not recommend nylon cord for this technique. I think it's too thin and will slip out and the metal might actually cut the cord.

[@B3Kusa]

Thank you.very helpful

Hi there, I just tried to make your Lustrous Loops Earrings, I bought everything that the tutorial said to, the wire I used was .019 soft flex versus the 0.18 flex right, that was the only difference, I watched this tutorial a heap to make sure I knew exactly what I was doing, I know it’s super simple and I didn’t need to watch it that many times, but I’m a tad of a perfectionist. It was difficult trying to get 3 pieces of wire in versus a simple piece of chain, but I got them in, and I went around the end over and over to make sure it was stuck on there perfectly, then when I thought any more squeezing would be Really overdoing it I stopped and I gave a gentle tug, and guess what happened ... all the wire just slid right out ..... I’m devastated and have absolutely NO idea what I could of done wrong or done differently, it’s a simple task and it seems I may just as well trash everything bead related as if I can’t even do this then what’s the point ☹️😢

[@VioletSkye19]

Just to add, I tried this again and again and every time they’re just sliding right out of the crimp end, and it’s impossible for me to crimp it anymore than I am. I honestly don’t see why something that should be this simple is this impossible. I was wanting to make these to sell and now I’m looking at my dreams falling apart 🙁

[@beadaholique]

Hi there Violetskye19, so I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I just re-tested both wires; the .019 and the .018. And It may seem minor but the .018 was indeed more secure. What crimping plier are you using? I would try the Xuron 4-in-1 because it gives a nice v shape so it will hold better. I think that will help you tremendously. Don't give up. Okay, no now for the bad news. This is a Design made by Beadaholique for the purpose of personal use. And what that means is that we ask that you not sell our original projects and kits by our in-house design department. However, please feel free to use them as inspiration for your own creations. We love that you love making this design and we hope you continue beading!

[@VioletSkye19]

Beadaholique Hi there and thank you for replying, I’m sure you have a ton of other things to do other than KZbin replies ! I am using the same crimping tool as you, I bought it from you after seeing it used so often in your videos. I did look at another video on crimping and I noticed they mentioned to keep the wire nice and flat (I’ve never crimped before so I’m learning right from the beginning here) I wasn’t aware that I was supposed to keep this flat and I kept turning the end of the crimp around and around recrimping it over and over, could I possibly of done the wrong thing and I should of been keeping the cables all flat ? The other video was also doing tiered loops like this one. Oh and I think I didn’t explain one thing properly before, I’m NOT planning on copying your design of these colors/placement etc, just using loops of wire to make earrings is all I meant, and I’m so sorry if you thought I was going to copy your design !

[@lorrainekhan6886]

As usual a great tutorial, 🙏

[@beadaholique]

Thanks Lorraine!

[@AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ]

I Realize This Is A 10 Years Old I Enjoy Watching It However I Do Have A Question Can I Use The Magic Crimper To Round The Bottom Instead Of Flattening It As Another Option 😊 Thanks 😊

[@beadaholique]

Hello! Great question! I think you will need to experiment with that since these are not magical crimps to go with the Magical Crimper tool. I think it would look lovely and it might work, but it would take some experimenting.

[@leannmorgan9064]

will this work for .19 mm beading wire?

[@beadaholique]

Hi! Just to clarify, do you mean .019 inch beading wire? If so, then yes, it should work. It will fit up to .040 inch. I hope that helps.

[@venetageorgieva6855]

Oooo,wow ,Thank uuu.

[@mariamorra3770]

I have 1mm wire, can I crimp to it

[@beadaholique]

1mm wire should be fine, if it ends up being a little loose you can also use a tiny dot of glue, we like to use G S Hypo Cement for that: beadaholique.com/products/g-s-hypo-cement-precise-applicator-essential

[@sunnybunny5516]

Easy to follow - THANKS!

[@yunziedunzie]

AWESOME!! thank you so much 💗

[@beadaholique]

[@usaearthling]

Very nice.

[@zoilarivera8866]

Thank you

[@secretoayala3266]

Ohhh I love you so much now ty so helpful

[@beadaholique]

Glad we could help!

[@christiewillumsen6459]

How do you crimp and not have sharp edges? I am new so it is probably just user error 😂

[@beadaholique]

Can you please let me know where your sharp edges are?

[@BGmamaJwife]

Awesome! Thank you!!

[@lettidelgado7375]

that's cool..

[@nicoleszekely]
