Flatback Half Pearls | 13x18mm Teardrop | White | 25g Pack - Statement Decor

This is the largest drop in the range and it behaves like a centrepiece rather than an accent. At 13x18mm each teardrop carries a bright high shine pearl surface that reads clean and glossy from across a room, which makes it useful where one well placed piece does the work of a dozen small ones. The flat back glues level onto MDF, wood, frames and resin. Supplied in a 25 g pack.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Home decor and event styling
• Statement jewellery blanks and hair accessories
• Bridal and wedding craft
• Large MDF and wall art panels
• Anyone who needs a single dramatic pearl rather than a scatter

Perfect for

• Set one drop as the centre of a wall hanging or a wreath
• Build a three drop cluster on a bridal hair comb blank
• Anchor the corners of a large MDF tray
• Create a bold pendant look on a bezel blank
• Space them along a mirror surround as the main event

Compatibility

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

Pairs well with: crushed glass and mirror chips, for a large pearl set against reflective texture.

Not suitable for: stringing or threading, since there is no hole; nail art, since 18mm is far too large; and fine card work, where the weight and scale overwhelm the paper.

Before You Buy

• The pack is sold by weight. At this size a 25 g pack holds far fewer pieces than the small sizes.
• These are glue-on and have no adhesive backing.
• Too large for nail art and heavy for thin cardstock. Use a firm base.
• This size has a plain high shine pearl finish rather than the AB rainbow shift found on the smaller drops.

How to Use

1. Choose a firm surface, since a piece this size needs a solid base.
2. Run a generous bead of glue across the whole flat back area on the surface.
3. Set the drop point first, then lower the wide end into the glue.
4. Hold for several seconds, since a larger piece takes longer to grab.
5. Leave flat and undisturbed until the glue has cured fully.

You will Need

• professional glue (B-6000 and B-7000)
• instant and super glue

You may also like

• crushed glass and mirror chips

Frequently Asked Questions

How big are these compared with the other drops?
At 13 mm wide and 18 mm long these are the largest teardrop in the range. The pack is 25 g, sold by weight, so it holds the fewest pieces of any size here.

Do these have the AB rainbow finish?
No. This size reads as a bright plain pearl white with a high shine. The 6x10mm, 8x13mm and 10x14mm drops carry the AB iridescent coating.

Will these hold on a wall hanging?
Use a strong clear adhesive rather than school glue and let it cure fully. We do not verify load bearing, so test on a scrap first.

Can I use these on cards?
They will glue to card, but at 18mm long they are heavy for thin paper and better suited to MDF, wood and frames.
