What do you make with these? Elite Better Beads filigree pendants and bead caps. http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/a2/39/60a2_1_b.JPG How do you string them? Do you hang some-thing from them? Do you put some-thing in-side? Does any-one have any pictures of necklaces made with them?

Making these types of chandelier earrings are another option for using those large, lacy bead caps. http://www.beadingtimes.com/project1103.htm
You could press them into cones before stringing them like this example http://www.northwestbead.com/Filigree-Basket-Large-Silver-Plated-p-189.html?zenid=64e26bfa3939c81707ca7f6f7a2c6c7a (click on the picture for a close up pop up)
Also, the ones that you are looking at in that picture are the very large and soft ones so you can use them on beads that you can press the bead cap around, pressing it flat up against the bead like you're wrapping it with the filigree cap.

Bead caps are placed on either side of a bead so they surround the end of the bead. They are then strung as one piece. It's just a pretty addition to a necklace or bracelet. Sorry I don't have any pictures to show you. Try looking up beading websites Fire Mountain Gemstones is a great site. They also have instructions on how to do some projects.

I've used them to top tassels of tiny beads or of thead.
I've used them as end-caps for multiple strands of tiny beads *or* of multiple strands of heavy silk cords on bracelets, necklaces and hatbands.
I've used them to reduce the effective hole size on hand-wound paper beads strung with smaller beads so the smaller beads don't go inside the paper beads.
I've not used them for dollhouse chandeliers, but I've seen it done.
They make good bra cups for rowdy hollyhock dolls.

Check out this picture. It's a way to transition from the bead to another bead or something else.
