Beading Tips : Beading Techniques

Hello my name is Leonardo Martinez at legendary beads in Austin, Today I’m gonna show you Beading techniques involving crimps. I have 2 different types of crimping tools, I have your standard mighty crimper with 2 channels and your magical tool which has a ball form. Am first I’m going to use the mighty crimper, Putting your crimp on, putting it in your clasp, running your wire back through the crimp, cinching it back, A preferably you want a comfortable loop and about maybe a half inch on the end.

Taking your mighty crimpers, holding them down with the channel down. Position over your crimper smashing down making an indention turning right angle, making it round. I like to kind of touch it 1 more time just to secure it. Then when you’re adding your spacers, you wanna kind of spin then on (there you go). Lining your 2 wires up and you wanna hold your clippers cutting your excess off perpendicular to your wires. I cut off the main wire. So with this crimp, am what we have is a crimp cover and this will finish have a nice finish look. So you hold your crimp cover, open, covering your crimp, closing down and then tapping it round (making it nice and round finish look). So now with the magical tool you don’t have to do that. It’ll already makes you round form putting your crimp on, clasp back to your crimp, spin, cinch it back comfortable loop.

Now with the magical tool you want to center position it right in the middle of your tool, when you feel comfortable with that, smash it down. So you can have ravioli right angle, smash and then kinda tap it. Just to inform, just to ensure the bead is round. And this is a beading technique.
