Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Glazing Paper Beads
I use PC Petrifier and Janice Mae's Vibrance, 2 coats of each but have decided to use just PC Petrifier in the future when I run out of the Vibrance. 4 Coats of PC Petrifier works just as good as the 2 coats of each.
