i am looking for certain beads to make xmas tree earrings?

Question

I saw these beads sold as a set (to make 1 pair) way to expensive!! It was done with about 3- 4 stacked green beads with a gold ball on top. So the beads would have to be kinda flat and fluted. Anyone know where I cold get them??

Answer 1

Not sure what type of beads you're thinking of.
You're saying that one whole xmas tree earring is made from 3-4 green beads, plus one gold bead, stacked together??
If the green beads are all the same size, I'm not sure if stacking 3 of them would resemble an xmas tree... so did you mean that the green beads graduated in size from largest (on the bottom) to smallest (on the top) maybe?

Also not clear on why you said they would have to be flat and fluted.

In addition to buying beads at craft or bead stores, you can make just about any look of bead from polymer clay (including metallic), and in any size or shape, so that could be a possibility for making them yourself however you wanted.

Or perhaps you meant 3-4 *rows* of stacked beads (in which case they might be "seed beads" threaded in a tree pattern like some of these??

(If you can add a little more specific info, maybe someone could give a better answer, but hope that gave you some ideas.)
