Halloween Jewellery Is A Great Way To Add To Any Halloween Costume

By Marlene Zubber

Gathering around making Halloween jewellery is fun for the whole family in this great activity for everyone. Halloween is a great time for everyone to gather together to decorate the outside and the inside of their homes, gathering Halloween supplies to create fun and spooky costumes and shop for trick or treats that you could hand out this 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?

If you have decided to create Halloween jewellery with your family, there are many simple activities that you can start with. If you are beginners to the art of jewellery making, working with beads is the best way to go! Halloween Necklaces, anklets, and bracelets can be created by implementing the use of 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!

Simply gather up a wide assortment of beads and you can choose the design that you wish to place on the jewelry that you are making.

If you plan on making Halloween jewelry with your family, beads are not your only option. You may choose to create small pendants than can be worn on a costume as well. If you check the seasonal aisle at your favorite department store, as well as the craft section as Halloween draws near, you will likely discover an assortment of items that can be placed on a simple piece of cardboard and then attached to a safety pin to be worn 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!
