Pumpkin Festival. Ticket Necklace. Benefits child with Asperger's Syndrome .

Description

I love autumn! I miss the changing of the leaves, the cooler weather, and festivals celebrating all things harvest!

DETAILS: This necklace is made from an upcycled, repurposed, recycled (ticket is made from recycled paper) admission ticket.

Recycled paper ticket made fashionable and fun by German glass glitter, sealed with an eco-friendly, non-toxic sealer to seal in the glitter (no shedding! woohoo! important as unsealed we all know glitter is the most pervasive substance known to person-kind) and for durability. This is not intended for immersion (so please take it off before showering)in any fluids, but a little glow from dancing shouldn't be a worry.

Hanging on oxidized/blackened sterling silver chain and the closure is a sterling silver lobster clasp.

The necklace measures a smidgen over 19" in overall length. The ticket portion is around 2" in width and a smidgen over 1" in height.

✪✪✪✪THE STORY✪✪✪✪: My son has Asperger's Syndrome, which is on the Autism spectrum. We use rolls of these tickets as a visual, tangible "token" instead of monetary allowance. This helps him stay on track, helps reduce stress for our whole family, and teaches him the concept of money and hard work.

I was looking at the tickets he earned over the summer and didn't want to put them in curbside recycling and I couldn't reuse them with Alex (he's very rigid in his thinking- we are working on it but at this time "re-earning" the tickets would totally throw off his game)... So I asked Alex if he could think of a project to do with them.

These necklaces are what we came up with and we make them together(he's the very enthusiastic glitter department).

$5 of each necklace purchased goes towards Alex's virtual school fund (he gets tickets/points toward his goal). He is saving up to take language lessons online, through K12.com.
