Spicy balls

Last week, while I was reorganizing my closet, I found an old grey shirt with cute little balls of the same fabric on it. I haven't wore it since 2002, so it was time for drastic measures.

First, I cut all it's balls off. (Hm-hm).

Now I'm left with these cuties.
What to do with them? Spice up a cushion? Decorate a handbag? Skirt?
Do the same thing on a better fitting grey shirt?
I'll keep you posted.
