ACCESSORY: Pliers

Really glad I grabbed these—the 8.5-inch length gives plenty of leverage for snipping thick pom-pom cords without straining my hands.

These pliers cut through pom-pom string cleanly and the 8.5-inch length gives you good leverage for general jewelry work. Exactly what I needed for making tassels.

I’ve used these for cutting wire on my beading projects, and the 8.5" handle gives great leverage. The cut is clean, though the blades are a bit stiff right out of the box.
