If you're looking for a fun and easy way to make your own jewelry, working with elastic and crimp beads is a great option.
The supplies needed for making jewelry with metal wire and crimp beads are:
- Flat nose pliers
- Cutting pliers
- Elastic
- Crimp beads
- Beads and possibly a ring or charm
Step 1: Cut the elastic generously and stick a piece of adhesive tape on one side.
Step 2: Thread two crimp beads onto the wire before starting the beads.
Step 3: Thread the bracelet.
Step 4: When the bracelet is the right length, put the wire back through the crimp beads.
Step 5: Using flat nose pliers, squeeze the crimp beads next to each other.
Step 6: Do not cut the wire next to the crimp beads too short.
Step 7: If necessary, hang a charm with a bending ring over the two crimp beads.
