    DIY Halloween Jewelry & Magic Crystal Ball

    Greetings neighbors. Here are a few easy jewelry DIY projects you can make to accessorize your Halloween costume and your home. The lace chokers, spider earrings and cuff bracelets are my designs. The printable clip art and shopping links are at the bottom of the page. The crystal ball and the blood choker necklace are ideas I found on YouTube. The videos are linked under the instructions. If you don’t have the money or health to go out and buy the jewelry supplies, just text or email me and I will send you a FREE box filled with everything you need to make the jewelry (Ma residents only. Viewers outside of MA will pay $15 including shipping to cover the costs). I usually buy enough supplies for 10 gift boxes. I hope you enjoy the show! Text me at the studio at: 413-512-3714 or email me at: [email protected] Let me know how you are doing. I always love hearing from you. Stay safe and have a spook-tacular Halloween!

    Love,

    Malena
