Follow along with jewelry-making expert and instructor Tammy Honaman as she explains how to use crimp covers when you want to hide crimp beads for a professional finish in strung jewelry designs.
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.
