Halloween Jewelry Can Be Fun If You Make It As A Family

By Marlene Zubber

Halloween jewelry can be a very fun activity for the whole family. On Halloween, families gather together to decorate their homes with spooky designs, create spooky or entertaining customs, and shop for the candy and other treats that they are going to give out on Halloween night.

There are lots of other fun things to do, like filing for apples, going for hayrides, attending fall festivals, or going to haunted houses. However, those are not the only exciting things you can do. Try creating some fun Halloween jewellery with your family to accessorize those great costumes you are going to make or buy. It is something different and fun to do, right?

What types of Halloween jewelry can you make with your family? If you are a beginner to this, it is best to start simple. Start by making things with beads. Halloween anklets, bracelets, necklaces, and many other pieces of jewelry can be created if you use beads.

What types of beads should you choose? There are the standard oval-shaped beads with halloween colors, such as orange and black. In late December to early October, you may be able to find beads that are specially shaped as Halloween characters, like pumpkins, cats, bats, or even witches!

To start, just gather together the beads you have got, or go shopping and choose the ones you want. It's easy to make your own design using Halloween jewellery beads.

Halloween jewellery does not just have to be made with beads, though. You can also make small pendants to be worn on costumes, or other things. Go to the craft aisle of your favorite department store and see what you find. It is likely that you will find many items that you can use; just attach these things to a small piece of cardboard if you wish, glue a safety pin to the back, and put it on your Halloween costume!

There are other ways you can make Halloween jewellery, too. Try using Halloween coins, art, small wall hangings, small glowing pumpkins, and so on.

You can see that when it comes to making Halloween jewellery with your family, ideas are only limited by your imagination. Put on your thinking cap, do some research, and get creative!
