Christmas decorations (oh dear, seems to be my stock answer to anything at the moment)
Wooden ones with large holes can be hung on light pulls
Earrings
String onto wire and make tie backs
Wire up with some old cds to make garden mobiles
Wire into flower arrangements
Cheers

Re: 101 use for odd beads
A neighbour of mine has crystal beads hanging on fishing wire in strings just inside her window. It is so pretty when the sun hits them - though they look more like chandelier drops than beads, guess beads would work.

Re: 101 use for odd beads
I saw that idea when in the isle of wright, looked really pretty, was in a lovely seaside village and the beads looked beautiful. Recently necklaces are often really asemectric so go for very random necklaces, experimenting with size and colour clashes!! (I used to make a lot of jewellery!!) really good for present boxes - does anyone else do this- a box of nice stuff/ made things/ second hand/sale stuff waiting for b'days and xmas/!

I shall be using some with broken tiles and various other bits and bobs to make a mosaic in the near future.
