First, place the Crimp Bead Cover over the crimp bead by sliding the open jaw over it. Next, using the notches closest to the end of your crimp pliers, and using slight, even pressure, close the Crimp Bead Cover around the crimp bead. If it is done correctly -- and too much pressure is not applied -- the end effect will be that of a seamless round bead, completely hiding the purpose of the crimp bead and adding extra allure to the piece.
