Wooden coloured beads

Hi there! I bought some coloured beads with little bells in India. They were only cheap and the colour comes off on my skin. Is there a way of sealing the beads ie spray varnish or similar? Thank you

I have used a matt spray varnish to seal things in the past. It is likely to intensify the colours and may not spray in-between the beads for even coverage- but if they bleed on clothes it's worth a go. The exposed areas are the ones in contact with skin/clothes anyway.

Just a thought... Might nail base coat, followed by clear nail varnish work?
