How about tumbling the beads in an abrasive that will scuff the
surface and make them opaque.

If they are glass beads, you can etch them.  Same thing is done with
those neat frosted glasses with some design on them -- they're
manufactured the same way.

Both tumbling and etching, mentioned above, can make transparent glass
"frosted" or translucent (meaning that some light passes through it),
but it's not easy to make it opaque (meaning that no light passes
through it).
