How would you use a choker length strand of huge, ivory tone, fake pearls to embellish the project of your choice? Must include stitching, but the rest is up to you!
I found some old necklaces from when obviously fake pearls were in style. At some point, I re-used the clasps, leaving just the pearls. They must have been in a job lot of jewelry I got back in the 80's.

Cartoon-ish fish, with the pearls as bubbles.
Flower centers.
let me contemplate further...I may have more ideas, but that's what jumped to mind.

Large portrait of (whoever), wearing those pearls.
As a clothesline in a child's fantasy type picture.
Teeth for a jack o lantern!
Define "huge"? Pea-sized? Cherry-sized?

Big flakes of snow falling (like the stuff we had here yesterday)

Probably not too gaudy for DD for Halloween. :) Send her out as Lady Astor!
Giggle! after 3-4 years as a "lady bug", for the last 2, she's been a "hockey player" complete with "missing" teeth!

Lady Astor after a hockey game? VBEG
You could put two of the huge pearls on deely bobbers for her ladybug antennae, and she could be a hockey-playing bug.
Or glue a bunch of them on a crown and send her out as the Queen of Hockey Players? Heeeeeeeeeere she is, Miiiiss StanleyCup!
Giggling! I think she'd rather win The Cup!
Cheryl (tired since the game went to double overtime last night!)
