Half backed pearls

[bubbasprincess]

Where besides the SU! Pretties Kit can these be found? I try Mikes and Joanns but didn't find any. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places. If you know where they can be found please let me know! TIA =)

Unfortunately I don't know, but I have wanted to ask the same thing about the half pearls & the stick pins!

I hope someone has an answer.

I have purchase sticky 1/2 pearls at Archivers. They don't sell online, but I'm sure you can find them somewhere.

Ellen Hutson has them in her store. Here's a link:

I'm sure there are plenty of other places if you look.

Oh thanks! I have an Archiver's about 45 mins away from me so the next time I am up that way I will have to check it out. Anywhere else to get them from ladies?

And here's some at A Cherry on Top:

I buy my stick pins at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry making section - with the chains and such. They have silver stick pins - they might have gold as well, but I don't look at them - and they're 2 to a pack for $1.

If you go on weeks when HL has a sale like 50% off all jewelry findings, you can get 2 packs for $1.

Just to let you know, they don't have the loop at the top like the SU ones do, but for $.50 a piece (or $.25 a piece) I can deal.

I found stick pins at Joannes in the bead department. They also have pearl top stick pins in the accessory section of the material dept. I just can't find the end pieces that protect the card recipient from the sharp end of the pin!

I've purchased a pack of 50(half pearls), that also came with flowers, and some glitter at a variety store for $1.00, brand was "Forever in Time"

Would an earring back work - you know, one of the long ones?

I've bought adhesive-backed half-pearls in the paper crafting department at Target; I believe they were made by K & Co.

I've found the adhesive-backed half pearls at Archivers and Hobby Lobby. Archivers had a wide selection of sizes while Hobby Lobby only had one size. They were in with the stickers by the card stock at HL.

i got a mini meatal cutter thing made by Husky at home depot is really small perfect for trimmin off teh sharp end. you snip it AFTER its on the card. also i got 50 selt adhiesive hearls from KAISERscrapbook from my LSS. these are really small the smallest is (mili meters) 2.5 mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm. they dont stick the greatest but a lil crystal effects on the back is easy!

I bought 2 sizes at Hobby Lobby. There are 100 in the package of small ones and 64 in the pack of larger ones. They were $2.49 each. The package looks like this http://markrichardsusa.com/catalogues/cat_crystal.html.

I use the pearl Dew Drops and they look quite nice... bigger than some, but still nice...

[whim6915]

I had never thought of the earring backs. That might work perfectly! Thanks for the idea. Oh and cutting off that sharp point will work as well. Thanks!

I lucked out yesterday! I took my DD to a new discount store called Label cuts, similar to Big Lots, I found a pkg of 1/2 pearls meant for decorating cell phones plus pkgs of 300 rhinestones, also meant for cell phones for $4.50. I then noticed the $ store carried rhinestones for phones, so theres another place to look!
