Stop beaded bracelet ends from slipping out?
I've made several beaded bracelets. They're all getting longer... I think the ends of my wire are slipping out of the crimp beads. I wear them all the time (Have to, they're interchangeable parts for a medical ID bracelet, it's a wonderful excuse to bead)
Is there a better way to finish my bracelets so the ends don't slip?
Oh, I've got one of those crimp bead tools that bends the beads in the middle then in half:

Did you teach yourself? You may not be crimping it right. That's the same crimper that I have, but my braclets have all stayed. I'm not really sure what you did wrong (if you did do something wrong) so I would suggest going to firemountaingems.com and try to find something there there.

The problem might be the combination of the wire and crimp bead. If the wire is too thin or the bead too large then you can have a problem. I have never had that issue either so it is hard to say.
