I’m interested in knowing where to purchase beads to add to pants that are already to be sewn on…

    Please give us a little more information about your question. What kind of look do you want? What kind of pants? What kind of beads? Are you sure that maybe what you really want is the silver or gold bead look which is really called NAILHEADS. I use these a lot in my shop and I order them in bulk and apply them by a machine but I do believe that these nailheads should be available in the fabric shops in smaller quanities. And you can apply them without a machine or special tools. These nailheads look like a round bead with five prongs or studs on the under side.

    To apply them you simply push the prongs through the fabric, using a pencil eraser on the back side may help. Then with a hard tool [a screwdriver maybe] bend all of the prongs down toward the center. These will stay in through laundry, etc. Great for jeans.
