Bead tips are jewelry findings that provide a great way to hide knots at the ends of bead thread. To use a bead tip, thread the end of your stringing material through the hole, then knot it to secure your strand. If your thread is very thin, you may want to tie the knot around a seed bead, for extra bulk. Next, bend the hook closed to create a simple loop, and attach a clasp or jump ring.
The difference between bead tips and crimp beads is that crimp beads are crimped onto cable, wire or thread to create a secure hold (best for stringing materials that can't be knotted), whereas bead tips are best for stringing material that knots well (and might get cut or frayed if crimped). Bead tips aesthetically hide the secure hold created by the knot inside them.

Gold-Plated Bead Tip, Fold-Over
0 Reviews /
Avg Rating: 0 /10
Standard fold-over (clamshell) brass bead tips. Approximately 3mm cup. Designed to completely hide your knot. Once you fold and press the halves together, it looks like a round bead! Hint: Tie a 2mm seed bead inside for extra security, instead of just knotting the cord.
