School Halloween Carnival

[Kathleen]

We had a Halloween carnival at our school tonight, and as teachers, we run our own booth, and whatever profits we make from that booth, we get to keep for supplies, field trips, etc...

 

Anyway, I thought of making friendship bracelets. I went to the store and bought 6 colors of red heart.. the cheap stuff, and gave the kids a choice of 1, 2, or 3 different colors. Then I made a chain with the yarn long enough to tie around their wrist, and an identical one to give to their friend. Took all of about 1 minute. tops, to make both ch bracelets. Boys and girls alike loved them!

 

I charged 4 tickets, ($2) and let me tell you...WHAT A HIT!!! I sold over 100 of these sets in a 3 hour period! I paid about $10 for the yarn! I am soooo excited.

 

Crochet has come to the rescue again...

Wow, what a great idea! What are you going to do with your earnings?

[Kathleen]

We'll probably go on a great field trip.. probably to an end of the year bash at Disneyland or something.-- all wearing friendship bracelets, of course

I agree.....that's great! It's a good feeling when you are able to sell something you made yourself. :-)))))

That is sooo great, and the proceeds go to a good cause. Without art, music, field trips etc. school is so single dimensional.
