" Hello my name is Sabirah Parker I am one of the owners of Beadalicious located at 34 east Landgo Street in Baltimore, Maryland on behalf of Expert Village I like to welcome you back to creating beaded jewelry. We will continue with segment four crimping pliers presented by Denise Baker. Thank you! Crimping pliers are used to pleat and fold crimp beads on to wire. The crimping pliers haves to grooves one for pleating and one for folding. Chain nose and flat nose pliers can be used to flatten a crimp bead but the crimp bead looks better when it is folded and finished with less sharp edges. This is a perfect tool for doing it and it folds it so greatly. I wish I could show you but it is such a small device that it wouldn't really show well on camera. So I can give you a example imagine the shape of a fortune cookie this is the shape that this forms in a crimp bead and it allows to hold tightly to the wire. It is very nice tool. It is a nice tool to use. I'm Denise Baker thank you for coming come again."
