trying to learn crimping for fishing and after watching so many guys' videos I cannot express how refreshing this one feels 😂

You are so great at explaining techniques

Thank you so much for this concise and helpful tutorial!

Thank you for sharing this. ❤

EXCELLENT tutorial! Learned so much in such a short time. 🙏💗🐱

Thank you.❤️

Very informative, thank you!

Thanx for this nicely explained tutorial! After some of my necklaces opened up, I widened my jewelry making horizon with this. I know now, that I have to make the crimps tight enough, but not too tight, and hopefully the just ordered tool will help me add more stability in general. It’s lovely to grow from practice, but it’s also good to learn from someone, who is an experiened jewelry maker

​@@ArtbeadsVideos I still have difficulties with my closures opening up. This didn’t happen, when I started. Could it be the wire causing the problem? I am using three different new wire types at the moment, and with some pieces of jewelry it’s really bad. They open up again and again. The new tool unfortunately didn’t put things right

Good info. Thanks!

Same!!! I am trying to figure it out myself. Guess I’ll have to buy several size crimp tubes and crimp tube covers to figure it out. Her video is good tho.

Very helpful....thank you!!

Thank you for your tutorial. It was very helpful. I never knew that the crimp tubes were inside the crimp cover ! If I making beaded bracelets with the elastic, I think I have 1 mm what size crimp tube should I use?

Thank you. I was so confused about sizing stuff.

TFS. Good video.

Good video.

Can you use a wire protector along with the crimp bead and crimp bead cover? And how would you do it,would the wire protector ends also need to be inside the crimp bead cover?

You can, it would be added after the crimp tube and then the wire would feed back through the crimp tube after going through the wire protector. We have a tutorial for that here: artbeads.com/design-studio/how-to-use-a-cable-thimble/

what material do you use for your wire?

What size crimp covers will you use with 1.2mm crimp tubes?

Hi! thanks for the video, can I please ask something, when I reach step two with my crimping pliers, instead of folding the tube, it either opens it like canceling the crimp I just made, or even breaks it. I use the right size of pliers and tubes too, so I'm pretty dissapointed cause I've ruined too many tubes already.. Any idea what might I be doing wrong? Thank you :)

Hi! Make sure you are not squeezing too hard when crimping. You want it to be like a firm handshake. You also have to make sure the two strands of wire you are crimping into a loop are on opposite sides, so they will be pinched in place on either side of the crimp. You might be folding the tube from the wrong angle, which is why it's canceling the crimp. You want the crimped sides to be sitting side by side on the station so they fold together like a sandwich.

Thanks for your tutorials! I found some sterling silver 2mm heavy crimp tubes and 3mm sterling covers on your website that I'd like to use for making some Rosaries with 8mm semi-precious stone beads (and 10mm Our Father beads). The heavy would be preferable, correct? Do the covers come in a heavy variety also or would this be unnecessary? Also, sterling silver is too expensive to learn with. I'm a newbie and I've never done this. Do you sell any cheap heavy tubes and covers that I can practice with? If not, can you recommend any? Thanks! 😊

Where can I buy that crimp tube tool? Please provide an Amazon link so I get the right one. Thank you!

Can I use pliers instead of a crimp tool?

Hi there. Pliers won't work as well because the crimp tool has special notches to make the crimps really secure!

Hello friends. Out of the blue and only 14k gold crimp tubes 👀🫣🙄 I started to experience breakage of Beadalon Supplemax right after I crimp the tube 😫 the cord that is literally unbreakable just fell off twice on me 😩 any ideas what can I be doing wrong? Thank you so much for your help with this
