Finishing with Crimps Double Stranded
This is the only time we precut the wire and thread the beads with wire off the spool.
Thread
the Crimp then the Wire Guardian (from bottom of horseshoe shape around and
back down again) and add the clasp onto the wire. The clasp should sit in the
curve of the Wire Guardian; thread the wire back through crimp make both strands of wire the same length pull wire to sit inside wire guardian, gently squeeze the ends of the Wire
Guardian so that they meet and a neat finish is achieved. MAKE
SURE THE CRIMP IS SITTING UP CLOSE TO THE WIRE GUARDIAN BEFORE CLOSING by
Crimping (using Micro Crimping tool) or flatten using Flat/Chain Nose Pliers

Thread
your beads, when finished thread both strands through the second crimp, one
strand through the wire guardian, fit the Wire guardian around the clasp and
thread the wire back through crimp and if possible last two beads. Gently
squeeze the ends of the Wire Guardian so that they meet and a neat finish is
achieved. Slide the crimp as close to the wire guardian as you can.

Holding
each end of both strands of wire with pliers, gently pull wire till there are
no gaps in your design, Crimp and trim wire.
