Step 2
Using wire nippers, cut a 30-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional quality beading wire. String onto the wire, one crimp tube, a 1/2-inch piece of French wire and the ring on the toggle half of the clasp. Pass the wire back through the crimp tube, leaving one end of the wire approximately 1-inch long. Pull the crimp tight against the French wire and the clasp so the French wire is formed in a nicely curved tube. Place a small amount of adhesive inside the crimp (optional).
Using the crimping pliers, crimp the crimp tube. Using wire nippers, trim the excess wire from the short end.
