Crimp beads are used with all beading wire to secure the start and finish of the strand.
Thread through the crimp bead, around the clasp loop, back through the crimp bead and draw the beading wire taut.
Then crush the crimp bead flat with needle nose pliers or create a more rounded look with crimp pliers.

	Insert the wire into the crimp.

	Thread the wire through the clasp and back through the crimp.

	Slide the crimp up close to the clasp, leaving enough room to allow the clasp to move freely.

	Place the crimp in the OUTER slot of the crimp tool and make one firm compression. This will shape the crimp into an oval. Be sure to keep the wires parallel.

	Now, place the crimp in the INNER slot of the crimp tool and make one firm compression. The shape of the crimp should now resemble a crescent moon

	Next, place the crimp in the OUTER slot of the tool at a 90° angle, and make another firm compression. This rounds the crescent into a round bead again.

	String 1 to 3 beads, then trim the excess wire with the Nipper Tool or flush cutter.

	String the rest of your design. Repeat steps 3 - 8 for crimping the clasp to the opposite end to complete the design.
