Caviar beads?

I bought a bunch of these on a whim at the crafts store:

Not my pic, and not those colors, but similar size. They're teeny! I got some pearly blue, green, purple, pink, red, and teal ones, plus some clear ones. I figured I'd find something to do with them, but I haven't yet. I thought I might get some help brainstorming from y'all! Thoughts?

I've used them on my merpony I made. They tend to get used a lot on those and fairy type wings. But the possibilities are endless I suppose. I have a lot I need to do something with too.

If you're feeling particularly patient (and maybe have a magnifying lens!) you could try threading a few on some strands of a pony's hair?  Light coloured beads on dark hair could look like it was scattered with stars, or on aqua hair could look like water droplets.  You'd need some kind of 'stopper' for the end though unless you glued them on.

I use them as I would glitter - mostly for decorating wings.

You get the idea.

If they're the same as micro beads then they are solid without holes so threading is not possible. Cool idea though and could probably be done using seed beads.

Ahhh, awesome, pop-girl! I love the water drop effect the clear ones give it.
