Mickey Mouse glass beads?

[nettii]

Does any one know where I can find glass Mickey Mouse shaped beads? Id like to make a bead garland for a small christmas tree and have a Mickey bead every so often. Thanks Nettii

How large of beads do you want?

This store in the link below sells stretch bracelets with plastic crystal MM beads for $12 each, it's kinda pricey, but if your keeping it forever, it is not a bad investment: http://www.treasurekingdom.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?

This DIS thread contains stories of members who have made MM glass beads. You could check to see if they have an ebay store: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2118566

Do you want to be glass or clear? You could make your own out of homemade dough (and then painted) or Sculpey polymer clay.

Also, could you take some clear fishing line and tie three regular round beads together to form a MM head shape then thread the center bead in between the other beads on the line? On a Christmas tree with other decorations, I don't think the fishing line would be seen.

This is a great idea!

I was hoping I could buy them in bulk and string a Mickey every 5 or so beads but I think Im going to get some polymear clay and give that a try. If we have any experts with any tips that would be great. Thnks Nettii
