The purple beads are absolutely beautiful in person. They have a soft, dreamy sparkle when the light hits them, and the whole piece feels delicate and magical. I love how it brings a little color and personality to a window or car mirror.

My favorite small craft I’ve made lately. The purple color is so pretty, especially when the car catches a little sunlight. I was worried the small size would make it difficult, but it was actually very satisfying to put together. I like that it looks handmade and a little different depending on how you arrange the strands.
