Slide a bead tip and a crimp bead onto one end of your beading cord or wire. The bead tip should go onto the wire first, so that the crimp bead is right on the edge.

Secure your crimp bead onto the very edge of the wire by molding it with your crimping pliers.

Close the bead tip over the crimp bead to hide it, and then cut off any extra wire poking out of the bead tip with your cutting pliers or scissors.

Open a jump ring with your chain-nose pliers and slip the open ring through the loop of a clasp and the loop of a bead tip. Then close the jump ring. You have now completed half of a string end: your half-finished chain has a crimp bead that secures all your beads on the string and an attractive bead tip that hides your crimp bead and attaches to one half of your clasp. String all of your beads onto the cord and repeat the steps in this section to finish the other end of the beading cord.

Long Nose Pliers. Frequently used in craft production, this type of pliers is essential in bending and shape forming for jewelry making. The downside to this though is that we can't apply force since the shape of this tool is tapered.

Flat Nose Pliers. This is the most common type of pliers in the tool shed which is mainly used for gripping objects with great compression loads. Usually flat nose pliers come with a wire cutter that has the same function as a lineman's pliers. The disadvantage of this type of pliers is in gripping objects with slim spaces. There is more of a brute force than finesse.

Cutting Pliers. Actually this type of pliers does not belong to the plier's family as stated in its early uses, but the form and concept is basically the same. This type of pliers is used for cutting and stripping wires, which is one of the most useful electrical tools.

Crimping Pliers. This particular type has the most variety. Crimping pliers are used to join or seal two things together. The most common uses for these pliers are for industrial use, but they come along with a costly price tag.
Round Nose Pliers. Also a critical partner in craft making, round nose pliers are used for creating round shaped wires for earrings, necklaces and bracelets. This type of pliers is the same as the long nose pliers, and offers the same disadvantages.
