I would contact Eman Zaki and see if she would sell you a bag of them. You and she can agree upon the price and the amount. You may even see if she can purchase a bag for you and you would just pay her for her time. This could get expensive though as you would have to pay her via a wire transfer and your bank will charge you a fee, plus you would have to pay for overseas shipping. Another idea is to ask her if she knows of a vendor in Egypt, and if she can give you that information, you can contact the vendor directly and deal with them. Other than getting them direct from Egypt, I don't know what else to recommend. I know that Madam Abla (until her recent death) started putting scarabs on her costumes. Hallah Moustafa puts them on her costumes, too. I know they must be found in plentiful all over Egypt since they tend to incorporate them on touristy items.
