I want to make something that's not wintery :D Hobby Lobby bead sale, I just couldn't pass them up!
I have about 50 each of silver and gold bells.
Anyone know of any cute patterns out there?

Don't do earrings. The jingle would jangle your nerves.
Don't do pins, they'll look wintry.
I'd suggest bracelets or anklets.
Of course, with that many little bells, you could make non-jewelery presents for next year.

How bout a bling bracelet? Attach the bells to a medium weight chain style bracelet along with a whole bunch of beads.
I've also done these as bling anklets. Years ago I used to wear watch chains as anklets around the outside of a boot. All my girlfriends loved these and had me make them for them too. If it's the right length, it could be used a boot anklet or also a necklace.
You could attach them with other beads to make a fringe for a purse. You could attach them with or without beads to the neckline of a v-neck blouse.
Happy crafting!

I had a bracelet with just stringed jingle bells.
When I read your question, the only thing I could think of was this.

It doesn't call for jingle bells but you may be able to improvise.

If you can pair them up with some really cool dangly charms and beads, you can make some neat Boho anklets or bracelets.
