Let people know you are doing bead work and you will be surprised how many people have a few beads put away that they may be willing to give you.
Ebay is another good place to find beads. They are usually pretty cheap to ship so can be a good deal.

Do you have any tips for saving money on beads? Post them below.
I ask some my friends' old beads jewelries, wash them and let it dry..select the ones that still glitters and glancing condition and re-make them into a new beading design jewelries.Group them according it's colors,forms and textures.Attach some new gold butterflies.

I just "rescued" a ton of black beads from an old sweater than was given to me. They were all sizes and shapes, and there were black sequins, too. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Does anyone know of any places I can go to for really cheap beads and clasps? I've looked up the prices for clasps and they are so expensive!
