Finishing with Crimps Double Stranded

This is the only time we precut the wire and thread the beads with wire off the spool.

Thread the Crimp then the Wire Guardian (from bottom of horseshoe shape around and back down again) and add the clasp onto the wire. The clasp should sit in the curve of the Wire Guardian; thread the wire back through crimp make both strands of wire the same length pull wire to sit inside wire guardian, gently squeeze the ends of the Wire Guardian so that they meet and a neat finish is achieved. MAKE SURE THE CRIMP IS SITTING UP CLOSE TO THE WIRE GUARDIAN BEFORE CLOSING by Crimping (using Micro Crimping tool) or flatten using Flat/Chain Nose Pliers

                                                                            


Thread your beads, when finished thread both strands through the second crimp, one strand through the wire guardian, fit the Wire guardian around the clasp and thread the wire back through crimp and if possible last two beads. Gently squeeze the ends of the Wire Guardian so that they meet and a neat finish is achieved. Slide the crimp as close to the wire guardian as you can.
