Foldover crimps are one of the simplest findings to use in basic beading. Attach a ring to the end of cord, chain, small gauge cables, or as seen here, FEATHERS! The hardest part of using these tiny findings are balancing them in your pliers when folding them over! I find that my pliers can slip, or the foldover goes crooked! Crimping pliers: https://thebeadgallery.com/products/2... Foldover crimps: https://thebeadgallery.com/search?typ... Thankfully, Michelle figured out a great way to make this technique SUPER EASY using a flat nose plier to pre-squish it, and a crimping plier to fold it over! Pure genius!!!! Especially after wrestling with these little suckers for almost 2 decades! Good luck and enjoy using foldover crimps! As always, if you have questions, please comment or email us directly at info@thebeadgallery.com Have a flexible and folding day!  …...more
