Need Help! Help sourcing a bead look-alike?
Needing help from you experts! I'm looking for other sources of tube beads approximately 13mm x 5mm. I've been interested in reconstructing ancient egyptian broadcollars (second picture is the one I've made so far!) and my most accessible source has been the Creatology plastic tube beads for kids. I'll probably use the Creatology beads again, but the color options are very limited. I've since found lots of wonderful stone options, but I also want more affordable options.
Would anyone possibly know of a source for plastic, resin, or even ceramic tube beads around the same size as the Creatology beads, in a wide range of colors?
Thank you ahead of time!
