Attach squeeze bead
In this DIY tutorial we show them how to attach squeeze beads.
Crimp beads you need for many pieces of jewelry. For example, if you want to make a chain yourself, etc.. It becomes very beautiful when they hide the crimp bead in a so-called lamination bead.
Use the side cutters to cut a piece from the wire coil. Pull a crimp bead onto the wire.
Next, also thread a carabiner on the wire.
Bend the wire into a loop and thread it back through the crimp bead.
Push the squeeze bead as close as possible to the carabiner and squeeze the squeeze bead with the flat nose pliers.
Next, thread the round metal bead onto the wire and slide it over the crimp bead. This will cover the crimp bead and make the necklace look professional. A bead that covers a crimp bead is also called a liner bead.
The excess end of the wire is not cut. This makes the closure of the chain more stable. Now thread the first beads on the wire and slide over the excess end of the wire. This way this wire can also be laminated.
