I use a brass tool that is sharply ridged that will make that affect, similar to Suzy's tool - you just roll the bead over it. Or, an exacto knife works great too - just cut pleats all the way around and encase. I use a straight razor tool from Arrow Springs: http://arrowsprings.com/html/shaping_tools.html
