Post Pokeball anyone?

Hey all!

A friend of mine is looking for a bead that looks like a Pokeball. I'm not entirely sure how to start since i've never seen a bead divided so sharply... any suggestions?

Thank you!

I've done them. Make a red bead and a white bead right next to each other, then melt them together to make a round. Go around the middle with a black line and melt it in. Put a black dot on the line, centered and melt it in. Put a white dot on top of the black dot and melt it in. Add another white dot and melt in slightly, then flatten it. You want to leave it a little raised (it's the button). Bam! Pokeball done!

ETA, you can also do other colors, besides red...
