I think it sounds like a great idea..

Yes, do dare! I did something like that on my side porch...the light hits the strands of beads and crystals and creates a rainbow of colors! Be daring! LOL great idea!!!!!!!!! Kirk

Yes do it I think it would be very pretty

I have a string of mirror shapes and want to make more as they are very blingy and reflective in the sun and breeze!

I agree, do dare - it's your place to do whatever you wish, RIGHT!!! Neighbors thought I was a nut case when I punched holes in the tops and bottoms of CD's you get in the mail, put two back to back so the shiny side was on the outside and then strung them together with fishing line (leaving about four/five inches in between each CD) and then hung it from my shed roof. The sunlight hitting it created a kalidescope of colors that would swirl around. My cats loved it also as the colors raced across the ground. It was funny to watch them chase the lights.

Check the FAQ page and look for 'wire basket suncatchers'. That is one way to use the beads. Just wire them to any kind of top, and hang. Doesn't have to be a basket.
