Coconut Trick or Treat Exchange


I am participating in a gift exchange that is Halloween themed.  I had so much fun making gifts for my secret pals I just had to share with all of you what I did for my gifts.  First of all let me also add that Emily and Julie helped.  In fact Julie came up with the design! Together we made twenty five bead bracelets in fun Halloween colors of black, orange, yellow, white and purple.  Emily was the best at stringing the beads but Julie was the only one who could tie the bracelets.  I worked on doll sized candy corn made out of "fimo" clay. When then put some candy corn and a bracelet into each gift bag and tied them off with a purple ribbon printed with the word "BOO".  We sent them off to the Creepy Coconut headquarters and in a few weeks we will get a Halloween package filled with lots of special treats from special American Girl pals.
