Flatback Half Pearls | 13mm Sunflower | White AB | 25g Pack - Frame Decor

These are not plain domes. Each 13mm piece is moulded as a small sunflower, a raised pearl centre ringed by a collar of tiny beads, so one placement gives you a finished flower instead of a dot you have to build around. The white pearl surface carries an AB coating that lifts the beaded rim with a rainbow flicker. This is the largest of the four sunflower sizes. Supplied in a 25 g pack.

Ideal For

• Frame, tray and box decoration

Perfect for

• Place one as the corner flower on a photo frame

Compatibility

Works with: craft glue, clear jewellery adhesive, card, MDF, wood, resin surfaces and metal blanks.

Pairs well with: plain round half pearls, scattered between the flowers as buds.

Not suitable for: stringing or threading, since there is no hole; and nail art, since 13mm is too wide for most nail plates.

Before You Buy

• The pack is sold by weight, so the piece count varies and is not stated.
• These are glue-on and have no adhesive backing.
• There is a small moulded dimple at the centre of the dome. It is a production mark, not a threading hole.
• The beaded rim needs an even glue bed. A single centre dot can leave the rim standing proud.

How to Use

1. Choose the placement points first, since a finished flower draws the eye and needs deliberate spacing.
2. Apply glue to the surface across the full circle rather than a single centre dot.
3. Lower the flower straight down so the beaded rim beds in evenly.
4. Check that the rim is sitting flat all the way round before the glue grabs.
5. Leave flat until the glue has cured.

You will Need

Frequently Asked Questions

How wide is the flower?
Each piece measures 13 mm across including the beaded rim, which makes it the largest sunflower in this range. The 25 g pack is sold by weight, so the piece count is not fixed.

How is this different from a plain round half pearl?
A plain round is a smooth dome. This has a raised pearl centre surrounded by a ring of small beads, so a single piece reads as a complete flower.

What is the small dot in the middle?
It is a moulding dimple left in the centre of the dome. It does not pass through the pearl, so these cannot be threaded.

Can I use these on nails?
No. At 13mm they are too wide for most nail plates. The 7mm sunflower is the size to choose for nail work.
