Offering Wholesale Seed Beads to the General Craft Market

Crazy Crow Trading Post has been in the wholesale seed bead business since 1970. With a background in Native American culture as the impetus for the interest, we have catered to a niche market (big, global niche market) that uses these glass, metal, crystal beads primarily for American Indian and mountain man outfits. During this time, we have used larger and larger volumes of beads, directly importing many to meet the demand of the thousands of dealers we supply. From the smallest Pony, French, German or Japanese pony beads, to larger pony, bugle, crow or other necklace beads, to fancy trade beads, we offer variety in size and color to satisfy a broad demand for beads in the general crafts market.

Czech Seed Beads- French Old Time Beads- German Old Time Beads: We have them all!

Crazy Crow Trading Post is a direct importer of many of most popular styles and sizes of wholesale seed beads, including, Czechoslavakian seed beads, French old time seed beads and German glass old time seed beads. We have a huge selection of all the wholesale seed beads needed to create contemporary, traditional and historic Native American Indian and Mountain Man style beaded crafts, outfits and accessories. We also offer an extensive line of wholesale beading kits and bead work instructional books and videos to help you in researching and completing your bead work projects.

Czech Seed Beads: Still the most popular wholesale seed beads.

Wholesale Czech seed beads are preferred for bead work by American Indians for their uniformity of size, shape and wide color range. Czech seed beads have been in use since the early 20th century. We carry strung czech seed beads rather than loose as they are better quality, more uniform in size and easier to use, with fewer culls. Be sure to order enough background color to match as dye lots often vary slightly in color. Color variations are less noticeable in designs as they are in backgrounds.

“Old Time” French Seed Beads: Quality wholesale seed beads for all your projects.

Crazy Crow Trading Post offers a variety of wholesale seed beads to complete all your crafting projects. Our “Old Time” French seed beads are excellent reproductions of the delicate, soft, old colors used in the pre- 1940 beadwork of the Plains Plateau, Great Lakes & Woodland tribes. Although the Salvadori factory has closed, we still have a wide range of sizes and colors available in these wonderful old, wholesale seed beads. They can easily be mixed with our Old Time German, Old Stock Italian, & Czech seed beads in order to obtain the required colors for your wholesale seed beads projects. This was quite common in old work and many of today’s accomplished bead workers continue this tradition in order to obtain a more authentic look and to obtain the desired colors.
