Can you drape them along a banister or railing like a garland? or even from a bookshelf or mantle...
Ha! I did that back in the early 2000's when Martha Stewart holiday items were popular. I kinda over did it and it turned out more like a Mardi Gras tree. Still pretty though! See if you like any of these:

I would also add to a swag, wrap it around loosely to give some sparkle.
A lady parked next to us wrapped the roof luggage rack of her SUV with gold and pearl garland, looked pretty.
You could fill a pretty clear vase with them or use them to remake an old lampshade frame.

DIY Christmas Centerpiece
What are you trying to decorate? House? Tree? A specific room?
Hello Rosalie,
Yes, Use as Garlands, Plait them to make a Wreath, Wind them around a Styrene Cone as Trees or Table decor. Hang them from rings and suspend like a chandelier. Wind around columns, down staircases. etc.
I use gold pearls around my Christmas tree. You could also add them with a strand of Christmas lights and hang off of a mantal.
If you have a rather plain chandelier, you could add the gold and pearl strands to it to add some glam. You didn't say if you're wanting holiday decorating ideas or for all year round. If for the holidays, the strands could be added in many places such as around a tree, on a mantle, stair banisters, etc.
You can add them in a centerpiece in a glass vase
Hi Rosalie. Glue them around a candle or candle holder. Or glue several rows around a mirror or frame. Glue them on ornaments. Around coasters or drape them onto a chandelier. Use them to make tie backs for drapes or shower curtain. I make jewelry with beads. There are lots of tutorials on you tube if you think you might want to try making it. Good luck Rosalie. Happy Holidays.
I would consider as decorative elements to drapes as garland or attach on a frame or vase. Holiday decorations might be another I have seen the papermache deer covered in beads, could be sprat painted too.
Thank you ladies. I will be using the garland on my tree and on my mantle. Many thanks!
Hi Rosalie, I hope these links gives you some awesome ideas!!

here are some ideas use them as garland on your Christmas tree or wreaths also
That sounds very "New Year's Decor" to me. It would be versatile and you could also use as filler year round for an elegant touch. You can drape around the base of candle stands or other decor items.
It would make a lovely garland!
Would be pretty on a light fixture!
A garland would be cool!
I would use them to make a banner and hang it from a mantle or a kitchen hood. Of course, you'd need enough of each to make it work.
