Black Flat-Back Pearl Bead Trim — 6mm Scrapbook Embellishment, 36 Yards

Black Flat-Back Pearl Bead Trim — 6mm Scrapbook & Craft Embellishment, 36-Yard Spool

The unsung hero of every scrapbooker's stash. Black flat-back pearl trim adds graphic punch and sophisticated contrast to layouts — perfect anywhere you need a strong outline, frame, or focal anchor.

Each 6mm pearl is permanently fused to a continuous string and finished with a flat back, so trim lays flush on cardstock and beads stay locked in place when you cut to length.

Deep, glossy black with a subtle pearlescent sheen — bold enough to read as a focal element, refined enough to layer without overpowering your photos and patterned paper.

Perfect for:

  • Halloween scrapbook layouts and gothic-themed spreads
  • Modern minimalist and high-contrast layouts
  • Heritage and black-and-white photo albums
  • Card making — sympathy, masculine birthday, formal occasions
  • Junk journals with vintage or steampunk themes
  • Mixed media and art journaling — strong line work
  • Photo mat borders and outline accents
  • Wedding stationery for black-tie palettes (secondary use)

Specifications:

  • Bead size: 6mm diameter
  • Spool length: 36 yards (108 feet / 32.9 meters)
  • Backing: Flat — lays flush on cardstock
  • Color: Black
  • Quantity: 1 spool per package

How to use: Cut to length with sharp scissors. Attach with adhesive runner, liquid glue, or glue dots. Flat back fits cleanly under standard 12x12 page protectors.

Frequently asked questions:

Is this true black or off-black? Deep true black with a subtle pearlescent sheen — not gray or charcoal.

Will it work for sympathy cards? Yes — black is a classic, respectful accent for sympathy and memorial layouts.

Best background colors? Stunning against white, kraft, gold, and any bright color. Provides the strongest contrast in any palette.

Will the finish chip? No — the black finish is fused to the bead and stable through cutting and handling.
