Crimp Covers Defined

Not everyone likes the look of crimps after they have been attached to a piece of beaded jewelry. Now, you don’t need to see these any more if you use a crimp cover, which is basically a bead slit on one side. You use crimping pliers to wrap these around the crimps and thus make them look more like a rounded bead. See Cover Your Crimps! for instructions.
