Crimping pliers (crimpers) are special pliers designed for a very specific purpose: to crimp (fold) crimp beads onto beading cable such as Beadalon or SoftFlex. (Our beading cable technique sheet illustrates this very well.)
No more chippies!
But here is another use for them: use your crimpers to tuck wire tails. The concave shape helps pull the wire in close to the wrap without chipping the bead underneath – especially handy when you are working with glass beads or crystal!
Snags are a drag. Do you have any similar tips for keeping wire tails tucked where they belong? ~ Cindy

Brilliant!!!
Great tip!
Great idea! Can’t wait to try it.
I am a big fan of handmade accessories especially in crystal beads accessories. I am currently trying to learn some tricks and tips online so that I can make some crystal beads accessories for my handmade accessories online store on Etsy. I have done some research on new beading ideas online and the search engine brought me to your post. I really enjoyed this article. I would also try to use these techniques in my accessories and jewelries making. I hope your techniques will be able to help me to save some time. Personally, I find crystal beads are great to use in my beading as they are so versatile and elegant. I will keep an eye on your websites for more ideas. Thank you so much!
