Thank you, Kat. I am still practicing with the wire guards and crimp covers. Every hint/tip is welcome!

[@tanya603]

Thank you Beadaholique for everything!

[@beadaholique]

You are so welcome!

Crimp pliers would save you from having to do all this extra balancing for fear of losing the crimp.

[@shopwithmaja]

What mm size cord and size crimp cover are you using? Thanks

[@joanphillips1330]

Great tip! Thanks! Did you slide the thread through the wire guardians using the needle that's on the thread?

[@beadaholique]

You can certainly use a needle to guide the thread through the protector/guardian. Thanks for watching!

I e looked all over 3 different cities and cannot find bead covers, what's going on.

I am happy to confirm we have crimp bead covers on our website. You can find them here: beadaholique.com/collections/crimp-ends-covers-cord-ends?_=pf&pf_t_style=0-Style%3ACrimp%20Bead%20Cover

[@strawberryelle]

Hi Kat! Instead of wire protectors, can I knot the end of the bracelet and hide them using crimp ends? Or is that not going to be secure and break off?

[@beadaholique]

It is certainly an option, and we recommend trying it out. You greatly reduce the risk of wear with the thread protector.

Is Hypo cement good for metal, too? thanks!

[@beadaholique]

Yes, absolutely!

Are you really going out of business or is it a rumor? I hope that it is just rumors

[@n.s.5001]

There's an official msg on their site :(

[@bluestarlight2237]

Recheck the message on thier site. They found someone who, I guess bought the company- don't quote me on that though, last minute and is keeping the store open.
(It's been a bit since I read the announcement so I'm not a 100% sure on the exact details. But all that to say they are staying open.) 😉

[@beadaholique]

Just in case, we wanted to let you know we're back! :)
