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

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

Classic blue dimension for your scrapbook layouts and handmade cards. 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.

The medium blue tone is a craft-room workhorse — true enough to anchor nautical, patriotic, and winter palettes, neutral enough to layer with kraft, denim, and weathered-paper aesthetics.

Perfect for:

  • Scrapbook layouts — baby boy, beach vacation, winter, and travel themes
  • Card making — masculine birthday, Father's Day, sympathy, and graduation cards
  • Junk journals and pocket letters
  • Mini albums for milestone moments
  • Heritage and family history layouts
  • Mixed media and art journaling
  • Planner decorating
  • Patriotic and Hanukkah card crafts (seasonal use)

Specifications:

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

How to use: Cut to length with sharp scissors — fused construction keeps beads locked in place. Attach with adhesive runner (short pieces), liquid glue, or glue dots. Flat back fits cleanly under standard page protectors.

Frequently asked questions:

What shade of blue is this? A medium true-blue with very slight cool undertones — not navy, not powder blue, but a balanced classic blue that reads well in photos.

Will it fit under 12x12 page protectors? Yes — 6mm flat-back beads lay flush enough to slide pages in without snagging.

Best adhesive for paper crafts? Glue dots and liquid glue both hold well. For long border runs, a thin line of liquid craft glue is most durable.

Will the color fade? Indoor album use shows no fading. For projects displayed in direct sunlight (shadow boxes near windows), expect minimal fade over years.
