Finish and Add the Crimp Cover

Once you have the beading wire back through the other side of the wire guardian and then the crimp bead, close your crimp bead and trim off excess beading wire.

For a final touch, consider covering the crimp bead with a crimp cover.

Note: Remember, just like any other time you use beading wire and a crimp bead, consider how you are going to add your clasp before you finish off a beaded piece of jewelry. Depending on how your clasp is configured, you may need to add it before you close the crimp.
