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.

Purse handle or jacket embellishment maybe. Fake pearls probably won't
handle machine washing without chipping so I wouldn't use them on
everyday clothes. Not that real pearls would fare better...

Large portrait of (whoever), wearing those pearls.

As a clothesline in a child's fantasy type picture.

Teeth for a jack o lantern!

I'm thinking of an underwater scene with divers and beautiful tropical fish
and lots of sea creatures, swimming and crawling on a coral reef housing
those enormous pearls. Maybe there should be a pretty mermaid wearing a bra
and sitting on a throne made up of those pearls too.

The only other picture I get is a tropical island, with palm trees and sand
and sun, and good looking young men diving for pearls and offering them to
the pretty hula dancers on the beach so they can adorn themselves.

Define "huge"? Pea-sized? Cherry-sized?
