Black glass baubles/ trim for pinch pleats

[helen may]

Hi there everyone,

I've been asked to find some little, black glass baubles/beads possibly 3-4 cms drop to decorate a pair of pink, silk pinch pleats,!!!! ( to go at the bottom of the pleat).
Suggestions greatfully excepted.
Regards, Helen

Don't know if it'll be any use, but I recently bought some glass seed beads from E-beads online. Their service was absolutely wonderful. You might find something of use on there.

Is this them? http://www.e-beads.co.uk/ Lots and lots of beads and pendants.

On a recent search for an alternative to buttons for a customer of mine, someone recomended these which are 140mm drop http://www.collybrook.co.uk/acatalog...s__Shadow.html

Jones also supply something similar in black in their Interlude trimmings collection called a rosette with pendant http://www.jones-interiors.com/tieba..._Trimmings.pdf

There are some interesting feather and ribbon/bead tassels here http://www.sewinspiring.co.uk/acatal..._cushions.html that you might be able to sew in to the pleats.......look down the page after the beaded fringe

Gosh, thanks so much for the links, Louise, bluebell, Karen and Andrew, (Jones) didnt know there were so many lovely tassles and beads out there.I have to say I have always favoured the more contemporary look, and not used many trims in the past, however, might have to start now...
