Instructions

Slide a crimp cover over a crimp bead, capturing the crimp bead in the center.

Use crimping pliers or a pair of chain-nose pliers and gently squeeze down, ensuring the crimp cover closes properly around the crimp bead. If needed, use a pair of chain-nose pliers to adjust the crimp cover, ensuring the seam is tightly closed.

After stringing your design, repeat on the opposite end of the strand.
