Yes, they can be used as backgrounds, purse bases and accents.

They trim with bone, stone, rock, wood, shell, anything you can drill a hole in. Or you can drill holes in things yourself with a Dremel tool. (well rock is hard to do unless it is soapstone)

This piece shown has assorted styles of beads in it, with seed beads as a basis. You can use glass or plastic ones, depending on your budget or taste.
