ghost Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I am looking for a source for plastic beads in numerous colors. Don't want to go through the normal channels (barlow's, Jann's, etc) Would rather go direct to the source to get larger quantities and hopefully a discount. Does anyone know who makes plastic/glass colored beads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Any craft store that sells beads is fair game!!!!!!!! As well as craft catalouges. Check out beads at JoAnne's Fabric, Michaels etc. I see beads I buy them. Amazing what you can find when you're NOT looking. Try Ship Wreck Beads online Plastic Beads - Shipwreck Beads or look up beads online and see what you find Fatman Edited May 15, 2008 by Fatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Just remember, not all beads are created equal. One thing I run into is finding beads with a large enough to thread .062 and .051 wire through them. I have been looking at Hagen's and the prices seem a little better than other sources. That said, there is a company in Stevens Point, WI called The Worth Company that may be the company your looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Craft stores will have beads opened and thrown in a box in the back. Ask to buy that for a fair cheap price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Jann's sells a kit of about 12 different colors and 2 sizes of each color for $8.99 but there is not enough beads in the kit to justify the cost. Already checked craft stores and did a internet search and not finding what I am looking for. The beads TJ's tackle sells is the closest I have found to what I want but I am looking for much larger numbers than just 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I don't know if this will help. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska and their is store in Omaha, Nebraska called the Bead Store and thats all they sell is beads shelfs upon shelfs of beads. It is a pretty big store at that. I will look tomarrow for the phone number at work and call an see if they have a web site. If they don't I can PM their phone number to you so you can call them. Can you belive their is a store that just sells beads. I have taken my daughter their to get beads when I lived their. She makes neckles to sell at school. If I can't find any info here I have a buddy that lives a few block from their I can see if he can find out if they are still open. I will check on the inter net also.
