| How To Use Magical Crimp Forming Pliers
Magical Crimp Forming Pliers can transform 2x2mm sterling crimp tubes into a round bead to give a neat, professional finish to your necklaces and bracelets. I
In the jaw of the pliers is a round notch that sqaushes the crimp and then forms it into a round shape to look like a bead.
The pliers are for use with .018-.019" diameter beading wire and 2x2mm sterling silver crimps.
 |
Thread your beading wire through a crimp, the fastener and back through the crimp. |
Centre the crimp in the notch of the pliers and squeeze. The crimp should look like a small ravioli, with four flat corners. |
 |
 |
Turn the crimp 90 degrees and squeeze it again.
Open the tool slightly, turn and squeeze 3 or 4 times more until the crimp is rounded and firmly holding the wire. It should now look like a 2mm bead.
The trick is to ensure that the crimp is properly centred in the pliers each time you squeeze to acheive a neatly rounded bead. |
| Use the crimps with wire guardians for a neat, strong finish to your necklaces. |
 |
For health and safety reasons, always use at least one jump ring with your fastener, in case the necklace gets pulled or caught on something.
