Thanks for the techniques! Now if I just had better vision and coordination! Was working at my son’s house while cat sitting with only overhead lighting. Then I dropped my jewelry tray full of gold and silver tiny findings onto the sculptured carpet! Next time bringing an Ott light and I ordered a larger sized crimp bead. Hope it works with my crimp covers.

I had not been using the wire guards, but they look so professional that I'm going to start using them. The crimp covers look great, even if you use a crimping tool. Thanks! We no longer have even one single bead store here in St. Louis. It is so frustrating to order everything sight unseen because colors often differ when you see the item on line!

Hi Bella, yes, if the wires are crossed over inside the crimp, they can pull out. Always make sure they're parallel and crimp them firmly so they're gripped by the crimp. A,ways teat your crimp before you trim off the wire, and always run the tail of your wore back through your beads for an inch or two, that slows things down if the crimp should ever give out on you.

Thanks for the video! :-) I definitely prefer to use wire guards because I feel like they give more durability where the necklace/bracelet meets the clasp, especially since they catch during wear sometimes! I've always done the fold on the crimps because I assumed it made the crimp more secure, but now that I really think about it, I guess it's just an aesthetic choice?

We used to use a regular bead mat for out tutorials, but they never look good on camera - every finger mark and speck of dirt shows up greatly magnified! So we tried and tested many types of bead mats, and finally decided on this one. We keep looking out for other colours but so far, it's proving tricky.

Nice video. Sorry, I think you had the wires crossed when you did the first crimp and when you did the second crimp both parts of the wire were in the same channel, they're supposed to be separated and positioned on either side of the crimp when its flattened to make it more secure. I like the wire guards.

Keep your finger at the hinge side of the crimp cover, then gently and carefully, use your chain nose pliers to close it over the crimp, making sure it's well inside and not sticking out anywhere. Try to close it straight so the two halves of the cover meet exactly, edge to edge.

@Potomacbeadco
@Potomacbeadco Жыл бұрын
Hello there! The toggle needs to go on after the wire has been strung through the wire guard (if you are using one). Then take the wire back down through the crimp bead and down a few more beads if you are able to. If the wire is too thick to fit back down the beads, you can cut it after you've taken it through the crimp bead after its been crimped. Hope this was helpful!

Additionally, for so much of your video, it is almost impossible to see the tiny pieces you are using while they are in the table and also when you put them on your bracelet...due to your camera being too far away and/or your hands being in the way and blocking the view...

Hi Karen! The camera is six inches above the postcard sized workspace. I also need to hold the work in order to add the findings. It's not an easy way to record but it's how the best tutorials are done, and our tutorials are free.

I understand your replies...however...it would be good if you stated why you don't crimp with the crimp pliers so we can at least know why both methods have good points... And sorry...plenty of other people make videos and they zoom in on the details...

I think she did say in the video that whether or not to use crimp pliers is whatever your personal preference is. In other words, one way isn't "better than" the other. 😊

I do NOT understand why you do not crimp the crimp tubes properly twice with the crimping pliers?! How does crimping the crimp tubes flat with a flat nose plier and covering them with a crimp cover make them more secure?

It comes down to personal preference.

Hello! She is using a bead stringing wire (cable). Depending on how big and/or heavy the beads are, you can use a 7, 19, or 49 strand bead stringing wire. Here are some from our site you can see www.potomacbeads.com/stringing-wire

98% of DYI necklace videos are just Complete Waste of Time. Because most of those video do not want to show how they lock the piece.
