Charms Beads
where can i buy polymer clay beads/charms ?
im wanting to set up my own business, even though im only 15, i thought id see where its going too get me in life! i am wanting too make jewellery out of cute, random charms, mostly for necklaces. and sell them too gain profit, but im struggling too find charms/beads/pendants with a hook on them. im looking for things like cute animals, cute food like cakes & sweets, random things like colgate toothpaste charms, possibly in bulk?
links would be much appreciated! (((IN POUNDS £££)) thanks!
I also recommend making your own polymer clay charms. Most are quite easy to do, you'll save tons of money, and you can also make them a little different than the millions of ones already out there being sold if you want or more easily cater to a particular market or niche.
If you don't want to do that, you'll have to buy from ebay or etsy probably, but it might be cheaper to find someone whose charms you like that aren't sellers and arrange to buy things from them. To find them, look on polymer clay forums like the one at Craftster.org since they often make a lot of "cute" things like that, or do a google search for polymer clay charm or polymer clay miniature, etc.
If you want to make them yourself, there are lots of lessons, examples, ideas, etc., at my polymer clay "encyclopedia" site, on various pages--like these:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/miniatures.htm
http://glassattic.com/polymer/houses_structures_gingerbread.htm (click on Candies & More Sweets)
...and maybe also:
http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/Christmas.htm
http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/Halloween_etc.htm
Btw, the connector loops at the top of most charms aren't bails, they're eye pins which have been shortened a bit then had their shanks embedded into the clay. (Bails are a little different though can have their own built-in loops or they can pinch onto the item, and "hooks" wouldn't usually work that well.)
You can find loads of lessons on doing the eye pin connectors, and on other ways to "hang" charms/beads/etc in polymer clay, on these pages:
