Those affordable set of dozens of jewelry findings are awesome, but sometimes they can be a bit overwhelming.

After all, what are you going to DO with all of that?

In today’s video I’ll go through a gorgeous set of filigree findings from BeeBeeCraft. It contains sixty pieces, including 42 chandelier findings, enough to make 21 pairs of earrings!

In case you don’t need QUITE that many earrings in your life, I’ve got lots of ideas for alternate uses.

Here are my 10 ideas for ways to use filigree findings. Watch the video for details:

1. Make chandelier earrings 
2. Create multi-strand bracelets
3. Fashion multi-strand necklaces
4. Color with patinas, alcohol inks, Inka Gold, enamel paint, etc.
5. Glue on pearls, crystals or cabochons
6. Back with polymer clay or epoxy clay
7. Use as a texture tool on clay
8. Wire on beads
9. Cut off loops to simplify the designs
10. Think beyond jewelry to home dec, hair accessories, etc.

Here are links to the projects I show in the video:

• Autumn Glory Earrings
• Summer Gypsy Earrings
• Fall Harvest Bracelet

Enjoy the video and happy creating!
