Hi, I just joined and have been reading a lot of the questions and answers and this seems like the place to find everything. I have been looking for large sized glass beads 20mm and larger. They don't have to be fine like Swarovski but they do need to be glass. If any one knows where I can find some I sure would appreciate it. Thanks so much

I would try a jewelry show. They sell jewelry beads and hardware as well as real jewelry. Search on "international gem.com" or some variation of it. Good luck.

Here are some sites

Are you looking for any particular color or shape in the glass beads?

You can also try eBay. I have purchased many beads from there. And also some craft stores like michaels and wallmart sell beads as well.
