THE BEST SIDE OF HOW TO START A BEADED BRACELET

Just asking yourself if I’m adding the crimp way too early, When the crimp is too smaller, if it’s far too sharp for that elastic, or if I merely tried out within the bracelet too early (it hadn’t been 24 hrs but)… any ideas? I’ve manufactured 24 bracelets and wish to make sure I’m not making a vital mistake right before moving forward!
