PAPER BEADS
## Handcrafted Long Bicone Paper Beads – Vibrant Pink & Straw Gradient
Add a unique, durable touch to your next jewelry project with this set of handcrafted paper beads. Each bead is meticulously hand-rolled from premium scrapbook paper, featuring a stunning color gradient that transitions from deep, vibrant pinks to soft, natural straw tones.
To ensure these beads stand the test of time, they have been treated and hardened using **PC-Petrifier Water-Based Wood Hardener**. This specialized process deeply penetrates the paper fibers, curing into an exceptionally rigid, solid structure that makes the beads completely **waterproof** and highly durable for everyday wear.
Perfect for creating one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, these lightweight beads bring a beautiful, textured element to any design without adding unnecessary weight. Because they are made by hand, each bead carries its own subtle, individual character while maintaining a sleek, uniform shape.
