You can also use old beaded dresses to make or use the appliques to attach to your scarf. If you are hand with sewing try using remnants from the sale bin @ the fabric store. You might be able to find trims as well at resale shops. I sewn 2 scarfs together from resale shops to make one, a good place to get scarfs for belly dance.

They jingle on jewelry and they already have the holes for hanging. Two of the black plastic or metal rectangles can be glued together to make a buckle like thing and then can be strung alternating with the spangles for a foxy low slung hip belt. The other bits for another project. The round bits from old floppy discs make neat spangles. They jingle on jewelry and they already have the holes for hanging.

You could take a hammer and a small nail, and gently tap holes into them. Make sure you have a board or something behind the bottle cap, so you don't accidentally put a hole in your countertop or something. After that you can use fishing line, thread or mini craft chain links to attach them to whatever. :) You can use bottle caps, like “Delusion” said, but by putting glue in them you take away the sound that they make.

This will give the cap a little weight, once its dried the tie will be sealed inside it and you can add dyes / glass beads to the glue to make it look decorative.
