Make flower around them, glue it on the pin.
It can be brosh or shoe clips if you make two.

Usually keep them for décor until next year to give away and/or catch more.

I use my beads to make gothic chokers and garland for christmas.

My generic ones get broken down and used as trim for costumes, and a few get used as accents for my steampunk jewelry. The really cool ones (and corsets are a wonderful thing; I didn't have to flash to earn my awesome beads) get saved. I keep my extras until TRF and then hand them out to random Fair-goers and my pals who work out there for doing such a great job. I've also donated a few to Ded Bob and Sound & Fury when I didn't have money to tip them with.

locals in a Mardi Gras area (like New Orleans) typically give them to friends who ride in parades because beads are pretty epensive to buy or ship them to out of town friends. Some just collect them. Some make crafts oout of them. I have always wanted to make a shirt out of beads myself.

I have no idea hat tourists do with theirs.
