Where to find rhinestones with holes?

[carterandcalliesmom]

I see all these really cute nylon headbands on ebay and etsy for ridiculous prices - I have tons of nylon, already made headbands, and some flowers/buttons - the only thing I am missing are the rhinestones- I know i could just glue some cheap ones on, but I would like to have the kind with the holes on the sides so I could sew them on - I am nervous about them falling off otherwise. I have checked Joann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels. None of them carry them with the holes - anyone know where I can find them?
Here is what I am talking about:

(I can't tell if this one has the holes, but I know other listings have said that they are sewn on!)

Oh, and also the alligator clips? And, while I am asking, I am making Callie's first bday outfit -a tutu and onesie - where can I find iron on rhinestones? I haven't decided if I am doing the number one or birthday girl or what.
Thanks for any help!

I am not sure..but I can tell you that those are a HUGE hit in the store I work at. When we first got them in I thought on my god no one are going to buy those and they sell like freaken hot cakes. Some women buy 10 at a time. If you find them, you can make some good money :D

To me the rinestone looks like a button with the sew on area in the back.
For the alligator clips check Radio Shack or most electronic/electrical departments.
You could also check craft stores for these things.

Oh duh, why did I not think to search under sew on rhinestones? I typed in flat back rhinestones or swarovski. Ebay has nothing I am looking for for the iron ons though - checked last week.
Thanks ladies!

Really? Radio shack would have alligator clips? Maybe they are not what I am thinking of :) Oh, and I already checked many craft stores for the rhinestones - not one of those places carries them.

Wow! Some of the sites have them for more than $2 PER rhinestone! There are some other sites that are more reasonable though with 12 for $7.50

Alligator clips are Like the clips at the end of the cable you use to jump a
vehicle but on a MUCH SMALLER scale. Without the plastic cover and wire.
