you could try making your own from fimo clay , it does take alot of practice to get the right look and you won't be an expert overnight at them but if you have found a market for kitsch jewellery it's well worth the time and the effort

i have made and sold a few in the past and still occasionally make chocolate looking beads

omg I LOVE the sweet beads on that website I have a HUGE passion for novelty earrings and could spend a fortune on there , I make the occasional pairs of earrings and have sold a few but I'm wondering if those scrummy beads would be worth buying and making into earrings and putting on my website
this time next year i WILL be a millionaire lol

Hey thanks so much for these links! I just bought tons of beads off of here and I got a really good deal I thought. I know that beads can be very expensive but I was able to get a lot of bang for my buck on the first link that was posted and they are super cute!
