*Please note these may not be strong enough for heavy-weight necklaces. Check out my Amazon affiliate shop for actual crimps and crimping tool: crimping tool: amzn.to/3oGt9S3 crimps: amzn.to/3pL7B5r (I made a very small revenue from percentage of sales of items in my shop)
what would you suggest for a heavy necklace, like one with shells?
I think you've solved a lot of people's crimping problems! This is genius! ^_^
Thanks so much. Inspired by a special request from Deb in my Wire Makers club that need crimps but didn't have any. I just loved being inspired by viewers. 😍
@@HeatherBoydWire thank you thank you so much this help me so much I didn't order a crimps then I just saw that crimps are needed then I didn't have so thank uou so much:)
Oh thank you ! I’m always running out of crimps 💞
So glad it helped! Thanks for commenting. 😀
Oh wow! I didn’t know you could make these!! Thank you for sharing! I’ll have to email you and tell you about our vacation, but we stopped at a craft shop and a gentleman was sitting making wire jewelry and I was so excited that I actually knew what he was doing and we had a great conversation!! It’s all thanks to you, so thank you for educating me on all things wire!! 💜💕💜
So glad you had a great vacation. I won't be doing a livestream this week due to the holidays. Enjoy your 4th of July celebrations. xo 😍
You have solved alot of people's problems with crimps
Thanks Cheryl.
What a great idea! I already make most of my own findings; now I’ll be able to make crimps, too. Thanks so much. 😊
Awesome. So glad it helped. Are you in the Wire Art & Jewelry Makers Facebook group? We share lots of inspiration there! 😍
I never knew you could do this!!! Thank you for sharing. This will save us some money
You are very welcome Judy.
Well thank you I would never have thought
You are very welcome Gwen.
Love this! Always love it when I can make rather than buy my components .thanks for sharing 😊
And here I was, thinking I'd have to run back to Amazon for crimps after forgetting to order them with the rest of my supplies! Thank you so much, you're a life (and money!) saver!♡
You are very welcome Leyala.
Love, Love, Love the crimp bead idea!!! I will try this, Thank you!
Thank you so much. Excellent idea and tutorial
I tried that, and did it really carefully, and wow, they are super. They take the place of a crimp with cover, because they're pretty in one step. Super, thank you so much. And they really hold, by the way.
Hi Susan: I am so happy. Thanks so much for letting me know. If you want to share a pic in the Facebook group or email me a photo to info@heatherboydwire.com I'd love to see. facebook.com/groups/WireMakersClub/

Great idea. Thanks 😃
You are very welcome Anne.
Thanks so much for this.
I got my 12 year old a jewellery making kit and we looked up bracelet making only to find every video mentioning crimps, of which there are none in her set! I typed in how to make a bracelet without crimps and landed here. Brilliant. Improvising with what did come in the kit and using a darning needle to wrap the wire we managed to create a somewhat roomy crimp which none-the-less solved her problem so that she can attach the clasp (once crimp is flattened with the pliers!) 😂
A very happy 12 year old now has her first homemade piece of jewellery.
Thanks again 🙏🏼
That's so awesome. Thanks for letting me know.
Brilliant!
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. You have saved me so much money. Now my crimps will totally match my handmade wire closures. AWESOME tutorial.
Thanks for letting me know Judy.
This was so helpful. Thank you very much.
You are very welcome Marlene.
@@HeatherBoydWire 💕

You are very welcome.
This is genius. Thank you for sharing. J like that the colours will match and you've made em yourself.
Thanks so much Angel.
Thank you for this video! I saw your pieces and you are so talented, ma’am.
Thanks so much.
Amazing! I’ll definitely try making these!
Awesome. Have fun with them!
Heather Boyd Wire Thanks, Heather! I sure will!
Very helpful thanks 😊 👍
You are very welcome.
What a great tip!
Thank you! 😍
wow really cool
Thank you!
This is a great idea. No need for a crimp cover because they look good and it also allows you to use your choice of metal. I will try this for sure.
Thanks for the great feedback. Have a nice weekend. 😀
Thank You
Thanks for watching! 😍
Great idea
Thank you!
Waaooo madam this technique is money savior for jewelry makers. Thanks you so much.
You are very welcome!
Hi Heather, so nice to meet you! I came across ur channel today, boy am I so glad I did! I am a beginner in wire wrapping. I have been practicing, practicing, practicing my little butt off. I am getting pretty darn alright, if I do say so myself, and it is SOOOOO RELAXING!!! I LOVE your work! Happy Holidays to you and your family. All the Best i 2021 xo
Thanks so much Lynn: I'm so happy you found my channel. Happy holidays to you and your family too!
Wow 😍 Thanks so much 💟
Thanks for watching Annette. 💜😀
Thank u so much❤
You are very welcome
Absolutely bloody brilliant!!!!! I'm making a bracelet with .8mm cord and have been going crazy trying to figure out how to finish it. Lots of people say wrap the cord - easier said than done!!! Wrapping around another piece of metal should be easier. Can't wait to try it out tonight!!!
Good luck. Please let me know how it goes! Thanks so much.
Genius
Thank you Mirna.
Thank you ☺️
Your Awesome 💋
You are very welcome Tish! Thank you.

Hi i dont do social media. But i do youtube :) love your work. Im sure i can learn more from u. Im greatfull that i found your video. The crimp is the only thing i didnt know how to make. I never learned how to make jewellery. I was sitting on the beach asking the Great Spirt to give me a gift so i can create my own job(business) i woke up one day and my hands was making jewellery. I use to ask myself if my hands are possessed.. i made a lot of costume jewellery and i love elegance. I also teach others how to make costume fashion jewellery. Oneday i want to open my own shop :)
@@johannawooldridge4318 I guess we've been sitting on the same beach.... God Bless!
Absolutely perfect always watching t4s😊😁😀🤗☺
Thank you! 😍
How can somebody not liking saving money Absolutely brilliant really T4S again like I said always watching slimkim
Thank you again for such nice comments! 😍
Crimps are not expensive to buy unless of course you buy branded which is always costly but this is a great way if you need a bigger sized crimp. I use the tiniest crimps that will fit my wire because i want them unseen.
You are totally right, but this works in a pinch!
Thanksss a lott
Thanks for watching
Thanks so much I needed this for my Halloween jewelry I couldn´t crimp to safe my life.😬
I´m so lucky to came upon your video so helpful.
You are very welcome Violett
@@HeatherBoydWire Have a lovely day 😉
Thanks, don't know why I hadn't thought of this before! Perhaps E6000 would make it work for heavier items.
Great idea Annette.
That's awesome now I can save money. ? Though I have a crimp tool is that safe to use...?
* Mind blown*
Thank you.
Thank You So Much Mrs. Heather I Needed this! My Tiger Tale doesn't say the Crimp Size on my Wire.. I tried making a Necklace and the Crimp Tube Broke to Small.. I'm confused on Sizes for Crimps Thank You again so much..
My pleasure. I usually use 2mm smooth crimps for my necklaces!
I've been buying crimps but find them all flimsy and liable to crumble under pressure. This looks like a simple solution. I'm off to give it a try. Thank you.
Good luck Gordon!
@@HeatherBoydWire I have tried this solution and finds it works well and produces an attractive finish. Thanks again.
Great idea! I'm going to have to do this. I'm always running out of wire guardians....any way to make a replacement for those?
Thank you! What is a wire guardian? Can you send me a pic to info@heatherboydwire.com
@@HeatherBoydWire Sure!
Hi, Heather I was wondering if you know how to make a 3 hole clasp or 2 Just so I can make layered bracelets. Ty I think I have an idea but still not quite sure and I know you will have a trick up your sleeve. Thanks so much and luved this video .
You can do something similar to the bar with 3 loops in this tutorial, but with a thicker wire or bend back the wire to reinforce it. I'll do a sketch for you. ua-cam.com/video/1SXgDKGnO6c/v-deo.html
Here's a sketch: ua-cam.com/channels/YVZzUvVXBsc1uRRUBGX6sg.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxfYzxIKKV_b2eFwzi0OGgR2r0foNWn52M
Can you make a beaded dragon fly necklace????
Thanks for your special request. I have a couple designs for dragonflies that could be used as pendants on necklaces: ua-cam.com/video/dg8tktQ-Zm8/v-deo.html and this one that you can make, but don't omit ring part that goes around the ear: ua-cam.com/video/RWUj9fR1bJ4/v-deo.html
Which pliers are you using to pinch for the crimp beads to secure them
These aren't real crimps so I just used flat nose (chain nose) pliers. These work for lightweight necklaces but the ideal is to get real crimps and a crimping tool: amzn.to/3oGt9S3 and crimps: amzn.to/3pL7B5r
Can golden beading wire work too? It keeps it's shape
Thanks for watching. It really depends on the strength of the wire. As long as the wire isn't too hard it should work. When it is softer it will mold onto the tiger tail better. Harder wire might slip off.
Hi Heather, such a helpful tutorial. You have saved me from a headache. I want to buy crimp tubes, but then which size? Every handmade project is different, so not always the same sized crimp tube will match.
I'm a bit confused about your pinned comment. You say that these may not be strong enough for heavy-weight necklaces and to check out for actual crimps.
Could you please explain? Can I use stainless steel or sterling silver wire, and would you recommend 18/20 gauge, strong enough to hold any necklace?
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Thanks Anita. The DIY crimps are still a bit experimental. You can test them on the materials you have. Regular crimps do a kind of "double crimp" where you squeeze them then fold them over and squeeze them again. This makes extra resistance on the cord.
Thank you Heather, I got what you mean and you are right, it makes sense 😊
Hi Heather. Can these homemade crimp beads also work on a necklace made with fishing line?
Hi Jennifer. I use them with the tiger tail, which is like fishing line except it has wire inside. Just be careful not to pinch them to hard with the fishing line.
What kind of pin are you using
You can use a head pin or a piece of 20g wire
If y’all don’t have 20 gage wire you could also use a thicker needle
Good idea!
Thank you for the crimp making tip. i was noticing that when i press on each side of the spring, the wire is separating and spring is staying but looks like it is coming undone. Did i do something wrong? thanks
Thanks for watching. If your wire is strong enough, it should be fine and stay in place. Make sure to make the springs as small and tight as possible. You can always send me a pic at info@heatherboydwire.com so I can have a look.
thank you again!
@@Milliondollarbitcoin7 You are very welcome!
What kind of flush cutters do you use?
The cutters I am currently using are Beadalon nippers.
@@HeatherBoydWire what do you think is the best flush cutter
I was given a ton of crimp beads and don't know how to use them. Do you have to use crimp pliers or can you just use regular pliers? If I have to use crimp pliers, I'll just use your method.
Hi Peggy: I don't have crimp pliers so I just use my flat ones! Not as tight of a finish but it works!
@@HeatherBoydWire thank you
is copper or stainless wire better? i only have stainless and it's impossible to cut or bend it (20 gauge), am i using wrong tools (too small) or is stainless not suitable for weak women like me? Excellent video btw
Thank you. Stainless is very hard to work with. Copper would work better as it would squeeze into the tiger tail better. I've never tried these with stainless.
HI THIS IS CATT WHAT TIME DO R U START ON SATURDAY I MISS U ON FRIDAY NIGHTS 😣 I'LL TRY 2 CATCH U NEXT WEEK
Hi Andrea: Thanks for your message. I do the livestreams on Wednesday nights at 9pm EST (Montreal time). I usually post in my Community feed when there is a time change. Saturday's videos are not live and are usually published mid-day. THANK YOU!
It's my new girlfriend 😁 how's family and hubby...
All good here Debbie. How are you doing?
@@HeatherBoydWire good it was so much fun today. I have not seen a live face in days and it was so good to sit and chat to other people. I miss going out.
@@debbiegoble9836 Yes, the lives are always super fun. I miss seeing a lot of the comments when I am making things but am so happy when people chat amongst themselves!
Genius
Thank you.
