Need to find mini Christmas tree ornaments like sold at Walmart and Michael's?

Question

Couldn't find a website that has the pkg. of 6 or 8 cute mini tree ornaments...tried wholesale and craft supplies sites...any suggestions? Need to buy in volume for craft work.

Need a website where I can buy in bulk...no time to mess around with making them myself!

Searched many already but couldn't find what I needed.

Please don't waste my time or yours making suggestions other than appropriate websites.

Thanks for helping.

Answer 1

There are some here: http://www.bronners.com/miniatureornaments.html

Here's a set of 48 for $4.50:

These aren't exactly ornaments, but maybe you could use them: http://www.lillianvernon.com/catalog/product_display.jsp?searchParam=LV&pdId=9231&addOn=784&sid=eas

But I know what you're looking for and am having a difficult time finding any! Maybe wait for "Christmas in July" at Michael's?

Answer 2

Have you tried Oriental Trading Company?
http://www.orientaltrading.com
They may have some stuff you can use since they have loads of inexpensive little things in bulk (all kinds).

Otherwise you'll probably need to look at miniature shops (often at hobby stores) or miniature shops online.

Since you need them in volume, I guess polymer clay wouldn't be the way to go but there are lots of miniatures and small xmas-oriented things you could make from it quickly if you used canes, or molds, or stamps, e.g. If interested, check these pages:

Since it's for craft work, why not make your own? Polymer clay works really well and then you can really say you made the item.
