[@BeCreativewithTerryJeanette]

Great demo. I started making jewelry about 30 years ago or so, and we did not have crimp beads. We used the clamshell bead tips, tied a couple of knots in our beading thread and fed them into the bead tips and close the bead tips up. To this day I still use this technique, and even have some of my first pieces that I made this way that I still wear.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much. I have done it this way in the past but I find crimp beads so much easier. I'm always worried that my knots will come undone, especially when I use Tiger Tail. Do whatever makes you happy and works.

[@frankiefurbag9030]

Same here. Sometimes the crimp bead does not hold.

[@jessicaday9196]

I'm self taught and the way you just described is how I do it too. Because it works. Cool to know someone else does it this way too. 🙂

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

@@frankiefurbag9030 thank you. It's interesting that your crimp beads aren't holding. I wonder if you are squeezing them hard enough.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

@@jessicaday9196 thank you. Do it the way that works best for you, that's my motto.

[@lindasteger7207]

You are head and shoulders above the other jewelry instructors.

Oh, Linda, you are so kind. Thank you.

I love this video because it fills my need for an occasional refresher on finishing jewelry. Just a reminder on the basics. Like reading the card on a plane while the attendant tells you about belts, exits, bathrooms, etc.

@@The_Stylish_Maker I have a ton of my great grandmother’s “costume jewelry” that my grandma gave me after she passed away. It’s all so beautiful to look at and yet it’s nothing I would really wear. You’ve given me so much inspiration and ideas of how to reconstruct so much of her jewelry into new pieces. Thank you again💞

Thank you! My daughter and I had been making jewelry for years but during the Covid epidemic, we started our online jewelry boutique. Your video was most informative . I love the Magical Crimp Tool. I will try to find one, along with the maical crimp tubes. You are a joy to watch and listen to - again thank you!!!😄

[@fernbrisot325]

Hi Carol. I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your comment about teaching people the "right" way to crimp. My philosophy is there is a theoretical way and a practical way. Theoretically, the "right" way to crimp is to crush twice. Practically, a single crush can secure the wire. If the end result is the same, then practically is as good as theoretically. Striving for perfection is a sure-fire way to take the joy out of a beginner's creative process. I think an experienced crafter will develop their own practical methods that work for them. And, hahahahah, on the crimp covers. I struggle with these lil forkers as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much, Fern. I really appreciate your comments about the "right way". I think, as a beginner, you just have to do whatever works. Once you're more experienced you can experiment with the different methods. Thank you for the subscription. Welcome to the community.

Hi. I just want to say thank you for breaking down on the variety types of crimp bead covers. My favourite are the Magic Crimping Pliers. I had them for almost 10 years & it felt like yesterday when I first used it & squished my sterling silver crimp bead into a crumpled paper-like bead. It comes in 2 different sizes & 2 different types (1 for regular crimping beads & the other sterling silver beads). Thanks for sharing your video & have a wondrrful day.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you, Trelelah Lee. I didn't know that you could get one for sterling silver crimps. That's good to know.

[@carolynmozzone412]

Excellent tutorial! I’ll have to check out the bead bandit….never heard of it before! Use magical crimps all the time 😀

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much, Carolyn. I came across the bead bandit by accident but it was a really great find. I love them.

[@MsRockabillyBopper]

You saved the best technique for last. I thought for a minute there you were not going to mention your magical pliers. I love this tool so much & use it all the time. I've used crimp covers before & the clam cover thingie but not since I got a pair of magical crimping pliers. Once the bead is formed it doesn't cut into the tiger tail either which I thought it might but no its as strong as anything. Thank you for all your tips, tricks & tutorials they're just the best.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much. I couldn't talk about crimping without the Magical Crimping Tool! It's always my favourite. I concerned that it might not be as strong initially but I actually think it's stronger. And it looks so pretty.

Thanks Cathy. That's a great question - you need to use a bead reamer to make larger holes in beads. Here's one in our store: www.affordablejewellerysupplies.co.nz/products/cordless-diamond-tip-bead-reamer-21mm-x-8mm or you can buy them on Amazon here: amzn.to/49YWjlR
