Bulk buying/ wholesale particularly buttons and small beads

A question about : Bulk buying/ wholesale particularly buttons and small beads

Hi all I recently started making items from buttons and these have be come popular with friends and family , it is starting to turn into a sideline and I would like to buy the buttons and beads wholesale if possible as they are working out quite expensive from the local hobby store, can anyone recommend or point me in the right direction, thanks

Best answers:

• Try e-bay, or alternatively google 'wholesale beads'
• have tried ebay still working out expensive, and tried google lots of companies but need a recommendation as some of them are still working out expensive , thanks anyway
