I work only with mini hama beads and they get... really thin/frail. The bigger the design, the more 'floppy' they get. I've been wanting to make fursuit badges with them, does anyone have any suggestions of how I could reinforce them and what would be best? Especially the hole for where the clips go through (I've left about a 3x1 or 2x2 hole depending on the design)
My current options are:
Card backing - has a number of colour options but would mean the design isn't reversable.
Clear nail varnish - would strengthen but may be too shiny. would go through the holes in the beads and may ruin the front
Clear glue - same as the nail varnish
