Thanks for sharing a tip (comment below),
and thanks for sharing this blog with a friend!
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.)
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
