Where can I find triangle beads...

[robinbrown]

Well,,, I have this bazaar coming up next month, and was wanting to make little angle pendants and ear rings. I need triangle beads for this.
Anyone do those at a cheap price?
I will take solid colors, boro, etc.

I can also use green for christmas trees.

Show me what you have it you can....

Thanks,
Robin

I wish you had posted this yesterday...I just got back from Tucson and saw some great flat silver triangle beads (hill tribe)...will try and remember who had them...

[robinbrown]

That's me,,, always a day late and a dollar short...
Yeah,, let me know if you remember who had them. I'm going to try my hand at them, but probably will not turn out as triangles... LOL

Seems like I saw Zoozii's has a press or maybe that is Catt...can't remember since I don't make beads...just buy them!

I must be going blind. I can't find the press on cattwalk.com.

Can you help?

Hey Robin,

If your wanting to make triangle beads, their not too hard. Make a spacer and marver it on the sides to keep it disk form. Once you have the spacer the size you want, then add three fairly large dots equally spaced between each other (like the triangle), and melt them in a little bit. Then heat one of the three sides and marver it flat (don't squish too hard or you'll create a lip), proceed with the second side and marver flat, third side and marver flat. By this time you should have a triangle. Bath it in the flame and marver the sides again to keep it disk form, and to get rid of the chill marks. Hope this all makes sense.
