Just buy some polymer clay and start playing with it. You can use bamboo skewers to make the desired shaped hole. Or you can form the clay around the size you want to make like a pencil,highlighter marker. Feel free to stop by my photo album to see a few of the ones I have made. I am also thinking about making a step by step photo instruction of how I make me beads and put it on my dread blog soon. It can be so much fun and cost less to make your own than to buy them. But I am in total support of buying from independent diy crafters.You are in a great place filled with a wealth of info and resources for having healthy long lasting dreadlocks!
Thanks for the advice, and pretty please do a step by step it'll help me and countless others :D
