Where can I buy ~40mm colored capiz shell beads with top& bottom holes to use to make a chain link necklace.?

Walmart use to carry a package of 10 or so, but I am no longer able to find them. I have located several single top hole capiz shells 35-40mm in size but not the drilled 2 hole kind (1 on the top and 1 on the bottom). I have a wholesale license, so I am able to buy from a distributor as well as a retailer. Please help!!

I couldn’t find any with two holes, either. http://www.firemountaingems.com is a good place for capiz, though. You could also look for places that sell capiz door curtains. I’d think some of those curtain pieces might have two holes.

There are small hobby drills that are really quite cheap. Or you might ask a neighborhood hobby enthusiast (who has ALL the tools…) to loan you one. S/he could be so thrilled s/he might offer to drill the holes her/himself

Good luck!
