Using Crimp Beads Crimp beads are special beads that become flattened when squeezed with pliers. To use, loop the end of your beading string or wire, then string the crimp bead onto the loop. Use flat nose pliers to squeeze the bead around the loop, preventing the loop from coming undone. Project from The Need to Bead.
