Question coloured mini beads??

I have a couple of different colour mini beads and I don't know what to do with them. I would make beaded pens if they were clear but what do you do with the coloured ones?? Any suggestions would be great because now they just sit and the drawer unopened and thats sad, all craft products should be used.;)

shaker card? I used colored mini beads in my House Mouse bird feeder shaker card I did for the swap here. It looked pretty cute.

I used my Best Blossoms set the other day to make a Birthday card. Stamped the biggest of the best blossoms in Cool Caribbean and used Mono Multi to glue the mini beads to the centers in 3 different colors.

I just made a card with beads glued on a large flower (cut out of a double sided sticky sheet with my Cricut). It was pretty easy to do, and the beads are going nowhere!!

I did use some colored beads on the colored RSVP pens. I found the mini pens and for instance used gold on the black pen along with a mini composition book that had bees stamped on it. It looked really cute....just mix-n-match the colored beads with the pens or use co-ordinating bead color and pen color!

I threaded the beads on my wire and wrapped them around a ribbon. On each pass of the ribbon I had 3 or 4 beads. Really cute, I will try to load the card to my gallery tonight.
