Beaded Jewelry Techniques : How to Make Beaded Jewelry

Hello! I’m Leonardo Martinez and I’m at legendary beads in Austin, today I’m going to show you how to make beaded jewelry. Today we’re gonna be using 2 crimping type tools. 1 is the mighty crimper which has 2 gullies and our magical tool which has little ball form makes a 2 millimeter crimp into a ball. First to take this in add your spacers, it’s kinda spin those on, add your crimp and your clasp.Adding your clasp back through your crimp in about half inch, cinch it back in a nice comfortable loop.

And let’s use our magical tool; magical tool fit crimp right in the middle of the ball gruff and smash. It should come out with a little ravioli, right angle turn and make that in your 2 millimeter ball and I’m kinda like to tap that to make sure it’s nice and round. Take your 2 spacers through just the beads go through there, that’s great. If not, go ahead cut excess off perpendicular. Pick all your slack out; wanna make sure you don’t do it too tight. Shape to a nice and relaxed, add your spacers, spin those on (ok). Crimp, extend your chain back through your crimp, this wanna allow little bit more room to work with so you’re not fighting its end, with your chain those-pliers going pull that excess out and nice comfortable relaxed, go ahead and crimp. This time I’m gonna use my magical crimper, I’m sorry my mighty crimpers with 2 gullies.

Inside first, make an indention, right angle and that rounds it. And kinda like to tap it, just to make sure it secured, last cut, cut perpendicular, pull up on that, snip and this is how you make a beaded jewelry.
