| Step 1: Once your design is complete, add a crimp bead to the Soft Flex. |
Step 2: Slide one side of a wire guardian onto the Soft Flex, with the loop-shaped end of the wire guardian facing away from the crimp bead. |
Step 3: Slide your clasp (toggle clasp shown here) onto the open side of the wire guardian. You may need to gently pry open the wire guardian using your needle-nose pliers, depending on the thickness of the clasp. |
Step 4: String the loose end of the Soft Flex through the clasp, through the second end of the wire guardian and finally through the crimp bead. |
Step 5: Using the crimping tool, crimp as usual, but be sure not to crimp too close to the wire guardian. You will need this extra room for your crimp bead cover. |

| Step 6: Using the crimping tool, add your crimp bead cover over the crimp bead. |
Step 7: For a tighter fit, you can gently squeeze the ends of the wire guardian closed using your needle-nose pliers. |
