I have watched this video three times completely. I have rewound and rewound and rewound constantly on the same part of this video because I absolutely cannot do what you're doing. I am not using the same wire as you, but everyone told me that it would be okay to use the wire that I'm using. Babylon... 49? I have absolutely no clue what that means. But that's what the package says. I went through three crimp beads because the same tool that you're using that has the stupid kidney shaped part, absolutely will not fold the bead in half. And then whenever I tried to put my crimp bead on, I couldn't get it closed completely. I have destroyed seven pieces because I can't get it done. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Hey lovely! I’m so sorry you’re having trouble with your project. Beading certain is a patience tester, but I’m happy to help! I would suggest that if the crimp beads are breaking or not folding properly, you may need a higher quality crimp bead - or if you’re able to find it, a press closed “magic crimp bead” is much easier to use but more difficult to find. I hope this helps 💗
These super close up videos are the only way to learn beading! Thank you!
