Glass Pebbles

Does anyone know where i can get a fair few glass pebbles the cheapest i can see if £60 which seems silly! I need clear ones, about 10.5kg or or 1500 individual pebbles size doesn't really matter but i have some which are about 2cm and that seems about right and also some lilac/purple slightly bigger heart shaped ones (ive seen other colours but not lilac, I only need about 60 of those something like the ones in these earings

I don't mind online or in a shop (around london)

Thanks!!
Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    I had trouble finding pebbles when I got married in 2007, and in the end bought some from someone off the Confetti website. I still, have a mixture of clear and purpley ones if you'd be interested in them - think I have about 500. PM me if these could be what your looking for - will try and get some pictures together so you can see if they are what you are after. Ikea used to sell clear/cloudy ones, but not sure if they still do - only found out after I'd bought these.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    I got some glass pebbles in Morrisons they are bogof on the bags of pebbles too. Might not be exactly what you are looking for, but worth a look.

    thank you so much for the offer!

    managed to get the clear ones at morrisons at 2bags for £2.50 so got 16 bags!! but was working out so much cheaper than ebay (think they would have cost so much to post thats why)
    I still need purple ones I was hoping for purple hearts but I don't know if i'll be able to find them , are the ones you have just round purple pebbles?

    Yes they are but they do vary in colours - some a alot lighter than others. Will try and take a photo for you tomorrow and post it up.
