How to use
For sewing onto fabric, use a fine beading needle and matching thread to secure each half-pearl through the fabric around the flat back. For gluing to hard or porous surfaces, apply a small drop of suitable craft adhesive to the flat side and press firmly into place until set. When stringing is required, combine these half-pearls with beads that accept the 4 mm diameter or use bead caps and spacers to integrate them into designs. Handle with care to maintain the pearl finish and avoid scratching.
Usage recommendations
Choose adhesives compatible with both the bead material and the target surface; test on a scrap piece first. For garments, secure with reinforced stitching or a combination of sewing and fabric glue for wash-resistant attachment. Store the pack in a dry, dust-free container to preserve the finish and prevent loss of small pieces.
