How to Use 2.5mm Crimp Tubes
Crimp tubes are one of the most useful supplies for finishing jewelry made with flexible braided beading wire. Here's how they work:
- Slide on the crimp: Thread a copper-plated crimp tube onto the end of your braided beading wire.
- Attach the clasp: Pass the wire through the loop of your jewelry clasp, jump ring, or connector.
- Loop the wire back: Bring the wire back through the crimp tube, creating a loop around the clasp.
- Adjust the connection: Gently pull the wire to adjust the loop, leaving a little room for the clasp to move freely.
- Secure with crimping pliers: Use appropriately sized jewelry crimping pliers to compress and fold the tube, securing the wire inside.
- Finish your jewelry: Check the connection, then trim or tuck the excess wire as needed.
Helpful Tip: Choose a crimp tube that accommodates two passes of your beading wire. For the strongest results, match the crimp size to your wire diameter and use the appropriate crimping tool. Avoid over-compressing, which may damage the wire.
