    Can we talk Mardi Gras for a minute? After all, it's today! Specifically, let's chat about Mardi Gras beads -- about how they're shiny and glittery, festive and totally awesome, but basically serve no other purpose the other 364 days of the year.

This is exactly why I figured it'd be pretty fun to round up a few awesome ways to jazz up those beads and put them to work all year long. Necklaces, lamps, hanging chandeliers -- the possibilities are seriously endless! Ready to get your party on? Click through for 7 creative ways to repurpose Mardi Gras beads! - By Cyd Converse
