Crimp beads are small metal beads which are used to hold loops in jewellery wire, soft flex and other stringing materials which cannot be knotted. Crimping pliers allow you to shape the crimp beads neatly to give a
professional look.
4.How to use Crimping Pliers
Crimping pliers have two notches in them: the one closest to the handle has an extra and looks almost heart shaped this is the crimper part of the pliers. The outer notch is round this is the shaper. To crimp a loop in the end of your wire thread a crimp bead onto the wire, and then thread the end of the wire back through the bead to form a loop. Place the bead in the inner (heart-shaped) part of the pliers and gently compress it you should see it fold into a u-shape. Turn the u-shaped bead onto its side, and place in the outer (round-shaped) part of the pliers, and fold the “u” into a nice round-shaped bead. Excess wire can now be trimmed off or tucked under the rest of beads on the wire: I like to leave a small tail on the wire as it seems more secure like that. Like any techniques, this takes time and practice. As both wire and crimp beads are nice and cheap its worth spending a little time practicing. The small diagram below should be helpful as a visual aid.
