My business is closed and I no longer make them.
The law has changed in Australia meaning only simple dummy clips on ribbon can be made and even now they are looking at bringing in standards on those too.
I will no longer be answering emails about where I buy my supplies from as I never shared that hard won information when working and will not do it now.
If you want to make your own clips for home the info is on the blog if you want to sell them contact your relevant authorities.
In Australia you would speak to Product Safety or the ACCC.

The permanent ban on certain baby dummy chains with decorations including crystals and beads and other similar ornaments came into effect on 9 September 2011.
Baby dummy chains include pins, ribbons, strings, cords, chains, twines, leathers, yarns or any other similar article which is designed to be attached to baby dummies.
This ban applies to dummy chains with crystals, beads or other similar ornaments (also known as 'bling') that fail to meet the requirements detailed in the permanent ban notice. These relate to the length of the chain, impact resistance, tensile strength as well as the durability of the garment fastener.
A lot of the fasteners (ie metal clips) I have seen being used are bought from Asia at a cheap price off ebay. These have been known to rust, have the plastic teeth break or pull away from clothes leaving the clip free. As the paragraph above states the concern is not just for the bling or beads on the clip but also the strength of the clip as a whole.
