Hi everyone, I'm trying to find blank barrette forms so I can bead my own. I found one beautiful beaded barrette that is the only style that works for my hair. I'd like to bead my own, but I'm having trouble finding these anywhere. They are made in France, and instead of the wider metal clasp, they have a wire clasp that pops onto a prong. They come in two sizes - 1.5" and 3-4". I am having trouble uploading the picture of this so I can show you. Any tips? Thanks!! -------------

I can buy slides like that at my local jewellers/craft shop. I suggest
you try looking in any of your craft/jewellers shops.

Thanks LadyFrog, for the suggestion. I tried several such shops and they all have the other french clasp barrette (the one that rips my hair) and not this gentler wire clasp version. I've searched endlessly on the internet to no avail. If you are in your shop sometime soon, can you ask them who their supplier is? Thanks! -------------

Argus Designs has them, but now they're on hold because one of their employees is serving in the military. Hairboutique has http://mp.hairboutique.com/category.asp?CtgID=208 - some ... if you search "wire barrette" it may turn up more. The wire ones will show the wire portion sticking out. Also, if you go to beauty supply stores, the Karina brand might have some. Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

Thanks Anais! Do you know of anyone who sells the forms only without decoration? Otherwise I will pay a lot for the decoration, which I am just going to take off so I can bead them. Thanks again for all your help -------------
