But it would probably be easier just to make your own rune beads. That could be done using several mediums, but polymer clay has been used in particular.
Here’s one example and lesson from Marie Segal:

If you don’t have the rune stamps, the runes could be made simply by pressing into the clay various straight and/or curved items (like cut off popsicle sticks, bent ends of wire or paper clips, etc.), or polymer clay can be “drawn on” freehand too**, or it can be carved after baking.

If you’re interested in those things, check out these pages at my polymer clay “encyclopedia” site:

** raw clay surfaces can be drawn into with lines and curves, etc., with other tools as well
…a ball point pen, needle tool, non-sharp tapestry needle, ball ended stylus, etc.
…however, Wayne uses a piece of plastic wrap over (Saran, sandwich bag, freezer bag, etc.), his raw clay to “draw” lines onto his clay …lift tool between each stroke… the thinner the plastic is, the finer the detail in the lines
…….the plastic keeps the lines clean …could go over lines with other tools afterward to deepen, etc, if needed
