Welcome to MyBinding How To videos. Today we're answering the question how to crimp
a coil binding. First, you want to make sure the coil is threaded all the way through all
the holes and hangs out on both ends. Then turn the entire project around so the bind
faces you. Hold it in your hand and take the coil crimping pliers. Be sure that the little
red dot on the head of the crimper is facing up. Insert the coil crimping pliers into just
after the last hole all the way in, squeeze it good with one fluid motion. You'll notice
that both the cut and the crimp are done nicely. For the best look, spin the coil back toward
the hole and then flip the entire project over to crimp the other side. Once again,
place the pliers just beyond the last hole and crimp. And that's it. Now you have a beautiful
bound book with a coil bind. For more articles, how to's, demos, and reviews on all things
