I say this project was "pricey" because of the beads used. I only had 2 options: 75 cents each for 1 swarovski bead ($3.75), or 15 off brand for $4 but they come in a pack so I had to spend that much per color. I make these to sell, so for me, the packs were a better idea. The customer who bought this one is modeling in the pic here.
