    Girls make necklaces out of candle grease. They melt the grease and make it up in small balls. Then they hole them with a needle. They put thread through the holes and paint the beads with silver paint. When finished they look very pretty.
    They make dolls out of cardboard. They get very strong cardboard and cut out the eyes, nose, mouth, etc on it. Then they used to dress it.
    They also made belts by weaving sweet wrappers together.
