Beth, I think what you're looking for is paillettes. I give you my enthusiastic recommendation for Denise Davis at Threadneedle Street, in Issaquah, WA. She is a one-woman phenomenon and will be able to fill your order with skill and speed.
Here's the web page for her shop with the specific item you're looking for, in various sizes and your choice of gold or silver. Scroll down past the buttons and beads to "spangles" or paillettes. http://www.threadneedlestreet.com/buttons.htm Denise does mail-order worldwide, takes credit cards, and her shipping costs are very reasonable.
