Magenta,
That's a cool idea. it looks like your threads is varigaited. Unless it's my eyes. It's pretty. How'd you get the beads to no tonly go on but STAY on?

No scissor threats at me.
When I had a braid behind each ear, my apartment roomies used to gently grasp each one and use them like reigns.  Good thing all of them are scifi fans espcially Star Wars.
I have dangly earrings at the ends which jungle softly instead of beads (Hadn't found ones I like and don't know how to affix them.) cats love swatting those around.

Thanks! I tied some multicoloured wool to a very small hair scrunchie and then threaded the beads on the end of the wool, knotting the end of the wool so the beads don't fall off! Then I just tie the scrunchie around the piece of hair I'm using for the braid and using the wool as one strand of the braid just keep plaiting until the beads are at the end of the hair! You might have to experiment until you find the right length, but once it's made you can re-use it as often as you like!
If you've got an inch or two of hair left when you reach the beads, you just loop it around itself and tie off with a bit of thread or elastic...

LOL!! 
When I do mine, I always have it either directly behind my right ear, or coming out the top of my pony tail and dangling over my right shoulder!

Very cool . I hadn't seen a hair scrunchie that small. My braid isonly maybe an 1/8 of an inch wide.

Yeah, mine's very thin, too...about the thickness of Obi Wan's in TPM!
I don't use the big fabric scrunchies, just the mini stretchy ones that are maybe an inch in diameter when new...

If you first tie the beads to the end of the thread rather than your hair, (knot the end of the thread to keep the beads on!) and THEN braid the thread into your hair, there's NO way that your bag will pull the beads off...
Trust me - I have my bag over my shoulder and I've never lost a bead yet!

And I made my lightsaber out of cardboard tubes, silver paper, sticky-backed plastic, and assorted bits and pieces...

I like your costume Magenta Moonshadow, especially the bright cloak. It's really different. Was there a reason you picked red (or maybe it's magenta, hard to tell on my computer)? Your lightsaber is nice too. Better than the plastic toy ones (all 4 of them, one of each color) that my husband uses.
