How to Use Cord Caps
by Tammy Honaman, Author, Jewelry-Making Expert and Educator, Exclusively for Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®
Instructions
Step 1
Cut a length of wire. Gather a few lengths of cording that fit the internal diameter of your cord cap. Wrap the wire around the cords to secure them together.
Step 2
Insert a headpin into the cord cap so the ball or flat end of the headpin rests inside the cord cap. TIP: If the headpin comes through the hole, place a small bali-style rondelle or small round bead onto the end of the headpin so it remains inside the cord cap.
Step 3
Apply adhesive to the cording and insert into the cord cap. Let the adhesive cure overnight.
Step 4
Create a wrapped loop on the end of the headpin.
