[juicychops]

What sort of jewellery or any other things do you make using these?

Ive got a load all different colours and using them mainly for bracelets usdd with other beads and pearls. What else could i use them for?

They look lovely on earrings too as they catch the light well.

I make dangly earrings and necklaces. I make illusion style necklaces using beadalon thread. Just put 3 or 4 crystals at regular intervals fixed with crimps. They look really pretty. I make a lot of earrings using clear crystals and Bali silver spacers- look expensive too! HTH

SC, what do crimps do? Im knew to all theis jewellery making so not sure the names of things

they are like tiny little metal beads that you squash. They hold beads in place when you use tiger tail or nylon thread (because you can't tie that sort of thread very easily)
