How to use bead tips | clamshells & calottes

[@hillybanks3891]

Thank you for sharing this. I recently just got some of the clam shell ones in a bead order but I've seen them before and always wondered how to use them! Looking forward to experimenting with them :)

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS HELPFUL TUTORIAL!

[@Brainwave974]

Thanks ! It’s very helpful 🫶🏻

[@soniachapple3141]

How did you secure the bead inside the clam shell? I didn’t see you knot it off or glue it 🤷🏼‍♀️. Wouldn’t the string just fall out #newbie

Do you have any tips for how to hide the seam in the clamshell? Is there an alternative other than knotting? I don't love the seam. Thanks!

[@aurasoular6804]

what size is the string?

[@starchylde4538]

Definitely had no idea it was called a clam shell. No wonder I couldn't figure out how to use it with my wires! 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 thank you fir this video.

[@amccaffrey1443]

At the end when you were going to add the second clamshell, I noticed that you added your stopper bead before the clamshell. Was the intentional? I never saw you put that 2nd clamshell on. I’m confused. I thought your supposed to put the clamshell on before the stopper bead. Is that correct? This is my first time using clamshells and your video was very helpful. Except for that last bit.

[@MrMeese_]

Yep every video I find ends like this. I need more insight on the second clamshell like wtf

[@MrMeese_]

If you do it like the first one there will just be a ton of space left over

[@judycrisenbery2982]

@@MrMeese_ yes:-(( not a look I'd want

[@BeadedChic101]

Hi Andrea, I didn't demonstrate attaching the last clamshell, but I think I did voice the instructions - perhaps try listening with the sound on... I will have a look at this when I have time.

[@theartisancompany]

I hardly ever use these but great video!

[@Niniverse891]

May I know how to attach the one open to the side?

[@dkhein]

Yeah I know. I can’t find a tutorial to close the side clamshell. It’s all about the others

[@BeadedChic101]

Hi, you should be able to close it the same way...

[@mongamahi13]

Is this 3mm or 4mm

[@tomm4792]

Hi , I bought many times Gold plated Clasp and beads and in less than a year those are losing the color 😪Is there any kind gold Clasp or bead never lose the color ?

[@BeadedChic101]

Hi Tomm, maybe if you buy solid gold, or protect with a clear varnish...

[@nataliesharif2167]

Solid gold. Not plated. It's difficult to find them for sale to general public. If u r in the industry easy to find. A few sellers on etsy have them for the piblic.

[@hopeKR14]

how can i attach my lobster lock on the open side after i put my clam shell crimp?

[@BeadedChic101]

Hi, I don't quite understand what you're asking...

[@Liz-rd8gh]

You add the jump ring (a hoop)

[@SandeepDhuri-f2g]

Yes very true ❤
