They have a way to add beads to them so the beads will hang out of the book, while the metal part holds the page. You can add them to scarves, lampshades, ceiling fan pulls, just to name a few. I used either 20 or 22 gauge mainly. I am certain there are patterns online for ideas of other things to bead. These are just a few things that come to mind off hand. Amy Metal bookmarks are sold.

I love it and it makes everything so pretty. Can you please tell me what gauge wire you use for the plates and utensils? Also, do you have any other ideas for beading other than making jewlery? I love making home decore, cutsie little things. If someone tells me what to do I can do it, but I am not crafty enough to think of really creative things on my own. Thanks so much!

I have been using Bond 527 and it sticks for the most part, but I feel like there has got to be a more secure glue that I can feel more comfortable with it staying... kinda embarrassing to give as a gift if it comes apart... :-) What glue do you use to glue the wire and beads onto the plates.
