Hi Debbie!! Here's an Idea !!!!

Debbie:

Here's one that my daughter raised money for her school field trip!!!
Your RIGHT they must know the value of money!!!!

Paper mache jewelery:

You will need the traditional flour, water mixture for paste. then all sorts of coloures tissue paper, this stuff is cheap.

cut the tissue paper pieces into about 2x2 inch squares making sure you mix colours, put a piece of wire in centre of wrap and roll like sausage until becomes tightly wrapped cover with paste to keep shape. the wire will keep the hole open for beading later when dry.

You can mix little scrap pieces of tissue and roll tiny strips to create neat designs. can be any size beads jusst remember the wire in centre.

After these are dry, about 1 day, you can pull out the wire and cut into beads, thread them on beading wire or fishing line.

make bracelets, necklaces and if you have a craft store near by, they have earring sets, very cheap, just the stand wire, the bead can be threaded on this earring clip wire and you have a beautiful set of earrings for pennies,

You can make velvet posts just cut some 2x2 cardboard or duplicate the size they use at the stores, and cover with velvet ribbon. The Xmas ribbon, cheap in rolls that comes in red, green, blue. glue this to the cardboard, Poke the earrings in and you have a beautiful presentation.

My daughter raised alot of money on this and she enjoyed making them. She sold the earrings for $3.00 each. Which was over a 200 % mark-up.

The kids loved them, they were sold out the very first day, she made 100 pairs of earrings, 50 necklaces and 70 bracelets.

These are a quick seller and they are unique, every kid will want one.

I hope this idea helps.

If you need any help on this or if my directions aren't clear, Please don't hesitate to ask.

Good Luck Debbie:

Take care,
