How to make attach a clasp using a crimp

These are some basic instructions and photographs for how to attach a parrot clasp (or any sort of clasp really) to tiger-tail using a crimp. 

Tools you need:

* pliers - flat nose

* scissors or fine wire cutters

* crimps 

* clasp 

* tigertail wire

Instructions:

1. First we thread our crimp onto our wire & then thread our wire through the little loop on the clasp
2. Fold over a 1 inch bit of wire & thread the end back down through the crimp
3. Slide the crimp up close to the clasp
4. Using our pliers squish the crimp flat so it holds the 2 bits of wire

5. Your clasp is now securely attached to the wire & you can start threading your beads (make sure you tuck the folded over piece of wire into the first couple of beads that you put on to make it all nice and tidy!)
