Big Little Store Acrylic Beads. White Edged Transparent 8mm Acrylic Heart Beads. Pack Of 50. 1.8mm Hole.

Who wouldn't love these beauties? We have been seeing these used a lot in beaded phone charms especially. However, naturally we like to be a little bit different and unique. As apposed to the very popular solid opaque heart opaque beads we have been seeing, we have found some with a gorgeous transparent centre in a variety of bright and vibrant colours. The white edging gives these Heart Acrylic Beads that extra dash of detail that really makes them pop out in your creations.
