After Halloween Surprise Ball

I love the look of the surprise balls and thought it would be fun to do with a Halloween theme and if we planned this for after Halloween we could shop the clearance Halloween stuff and get some great deals on things to use to fill it up.

I am not going to make a size requirement on the size of the ball but I would say at least 10 items (more are always welcome). No price minimum as we should all be able to do this without breaking the bank and with the left overs we have from crafting and the after Halloween sales this should be easy. :)

Here are some ideas of cool things to put into one

small stickers (yes you can cut up a sheet and use them as more than one item but please make sure the ball has more just stickers in it!i funny Halloween jokes, quotes, poems printed out on a printer charms earrings pens scrap booking supplies plastic monsters, spider rings and other silly things small rubber stamps small cookie cutters buttons beads candy (make sure it isn't all candy but candy is allowed in this swap)

Here are some cool tutorials for making a surprise ball but the basic idea is to take lots of small items and to wrap them in a ball of crept paper, or tissue paper so that you have to peal the layers of paper away to find he treasures inside.
