Depends on how small or big you need the sphere to be. If you need a sphere the size of craft beads then look at airsoft pellets. Head to your nearby sporting goods store and head for the BB gun/paintball section. Around that area you'll usually find the airsoft weaponry and supplies. These pellets are quite cheap and come in amounts of 1,000 or so.....but you can buy them in much smaller sizes like 100 or so. Then to get the half spheres, simply slice or cut them in half. Hope this helps.![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)
