These "seed beads" are usually made from plastic or from glass. I can’t tell you how to make them from glass since I’m not a glassworker, but there are some ideas for making them from polymer clay (if you want to go to the trouble) on this page at my site:

…click on the category SEED BEADS, then scroll down to ALL-CLAY Seed Beads

You can get lots more info on making bead shapes and types from polymer clay on these pages at my site:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/beads.htm
http://glassattic.com/polymer/beads-holes.htm
http://glassattic.com/polymer/pendants_cording.htm
(…though the *patterns* that can be created are covered on separate pages covering those techniques)

HTH,
