As for beads, there's a place called Big Stone on 29th & 5th, or at least there was. There are a TON of bead stores in that nabe -- you'll need a tax-free license (or whatever it's called) for most of them, but Big Stone will let you get away without it. I've had good luck there, though I haven't been by in a while.
Have fun!
I love Big Stone! I'm pretty sure it's on B'way and 28th or 29th, but it's definitely right across from the 28th St. N/R station. No tax id required, tons of semi-precious beads, Swarovski crystals and their counterparts, painted porcelain beads and more. Good prices and selection.
For trim/cheap yarn, I go to Daytona Trimming on 39th between 7th and 8th. There's also a little tiny shop near Daytona, closer to 8th that has a random selection of yarn, too.
