Technique - Using Crimp Ends
Step 1: Connect Suede Strands using Filigree Tube Beads.
A: Using approx. 16" piece of suede, fold in half and string the suede through a 6mm jump ring until you have reached the center.
B: String one filigree tube through both strands of suede, two 4mm circle spacers (one on each strand), one 9.5mm etched jump ring through both strands.
C: Repeat step B two times.
D: Using chain nose pliers crimp the filigree tubes until secure and in place.
E: Using 2 pairs of chain nose pliers, flatten two strands of suede into the opening of the 9mm crimp end (leaving a 1 1/2" tail of suede hanging).
F: Secure by holding tightly in place. Using a chain nose plier crimp down one side of crimp end, continue by folding the second end over the first.
Step 2: Crimp Ends of Suede.
A: Using 2 pairs of chain nose pliers, flatten one strand of suede into the opening of an 8mm crimp end.
B: Secure by holding tightly in place. Using a chain nose plier crimp down one side of crimp end, continue by folding the second end over top the first.
C: Repeat techniques A & B in step 2, on opposite end of suede.
Step 3: Attach Dangles to Crimp Ends.
A: String a glass bead onto a pearl head pin and create a wrapped loop using rosary pliers. Repeat once.
B: Using 2 pairs of chain nose pliers attach a 6mm jump ring to the bead dangle and string the jump ring through open loop on crimp ends.
