I usually use most of them to make more modern jewelry...bracelets and necklaces or wire wrapped rings and earrings. Some of them can be incorporated into wind chimes...use copper pipe or old silverware for the wind chime and string them with wire with the beads on the wire or cord.

You can also string them in short lengths and attach as decorated fringe edging. . if only one side looks nice or they are damaged you could set them into concrete and create a garden stone . . . if you have many you could do a mosaic design.

Years ago my grandmother and mother made "memory Jugs". Using window putty and an old pitcher, vase or some container they gathered scrap jewelery, coins, keys, political buttons, etc. (things that were too pretty to throw away or articles that belonged to a deceased love one). First they covered the pitcher completely in window putty. Then they pressed the keepsakes, artifacts into the putty. Takes a while to dry, but the finished piece is amazing!

I was just at a gift shop today and saw bookmarks made from ribbon and beads/broken jewelry. They were very pretty. You could do the same thing, only longer, and make curtain tiebacks. Those could be very eye- catching against the right color drapes or curtains.
