Using a crimp end allows you to easily attach a toggle, or other form of clasp to your designs that use leather and silk as stringing materials. Place a dab of glue on the end of your stringing material, insert it into the crimp end, and pinch the edges shut for a completed design. Base metal components are an economical alternative to pricier precious metal pieces, and with the variety of finishes, you'll be able to use these great components to complete almost any design.
