This tutorial from PotomacBeads teaches you how to make Pretty Beaded Beads using 11/0 seed beads, 8 4mm crystal bicones, and any 4 6mm round beads you chose. This is quick and easy, and will allow you to make your own unique beads!
Start with threading two needles with Wildfire or Fireline thread, leaving a 4-inch tail.
Drop one 6mm bead to the bottom, add a bicone on each side, then cross the thread through another 6mm bead.
Repeat adding bicones and crossing through 6mm beads until you have four 6mm beads and all eight bicones in place.
To create a cross section, add three 11/0 seed beads on each needle, cross through a single seed bead, and repeat around the bead.
Sew through all bicones to stiffen the bead, optionally adding a seed bead between bicones for extra decoration.
Finish by tying the threads together and applying a dab of glue to secure.

Potomac has good quality beads and many ideas to choose from. Sometimes they are a little pricey when they are not on sale.
