meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	I posted about this last year but thought it was worth a repeat. For Halloween I make lots of cheap jewelry out of supplies that I rarely use, and offer the trick-or-treaters a choice of jewelry or candy (Reese's peanut butter cups.) About 2/3 of the kids choose the jewelry. Anyone here who is even remotely good at crafts can make something out of fabric, paper, beads etc. Make jewelry or a toy or mini-scrapbook or anything kids might want. It's fun, it's cheaper and healthier than candy (which leaves the Reese's for me...) and the kids get such a kick out of it.

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Robin -- Thanks for asking!! Anything bracelet can be made longer for an ankle bracelet, usually a few $ more. Necklaces can also be modified for anklet for a few $ less. Anything can be made any size (one size does NOT fit all ) and many styles can be made in different colors. I'm also willing to inundate people's mailboxes with additional jpg's (up to 6) if you give me a clue as to style.
