buying little bits for jewellery making

[pinkkitty]

I have also posted this in shopping, but thought i would post here as well in case i encountered any hobbyists who make their own jewellery. I'd love to make my own kitsch jewellery, but have no idea where to buy the little bits to actually make it with. I know where to get findings, ribbon, fimo, fabrics etc, but i want little plasticky bits like plastic cherries, dice. flowers etc. a bit like the kind of crap you get in cheap crackers. eBay is full of this kind of kitsh jewellery labelled up as "kitsch rockabilly emo" etc etc, but I think making my own would be fun (and cheaper) if only i knew where to start. Any Ideas?

TIA!!

Have you tried Hobbycraft? Their shops are generally warehouse sized, and I know they do sell stuff for making jewelry.

also i buy cheap jewellery from claire's accessories (they sometimes have offers like 10 items for a fiver) then i take them apart sometimes it works out cheaper.

also i buy keyrings if they have nice charms and take those apart.
