With The Bead Bandit you can hide the Crimp bead or eliminate it altogether. Here’s how it works…..The Bead Bandit comes in 2 parts. The Collet and the Cover. To begin, unscrew the collet from the cover and slide onto your stringing material.

The steps for working a bracelet loom are illustrated in the Bracelet Loom Tutorial Tube Loom The Tube Loom is a loom designed specifically for making amulet bags, 2 3/4 inches wide.
