DIY Tricks and Treats with Make It Ruby

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 11, 2009 -- MakeItRuby.com, a new online magazine for tween girls, starts its October holiday push with 18 new DIY projects celebrating Halloween festivities. Incorporating Ruby’s eco-friendly approach of reusable, renewable and re-purposed materials, items for these projects can be readily found around the home or costing less than $5. For one week, starting Monday October 19, Make It Ruby will highlight six themed projects for Trick or Treat Party Week – a series of projects useful for hosting your own Halloween party.

“October is a great time to show young girls how to be creative with costumes and party ideas without breaking the bank,” comments Make It Ruby co-founder Joie Gharrity. “We have created several DIY projects that reuse some basic home items that spark some creative ideas for your interpretation.”

Gharrity, a former manager in creative development for Disney-ABC Television Group’s Stage 9 Digital Media, partnered with long-time friend John Frazier for the venture. Frazier, an art director and stylist who has worked for companies like JC Penney, Land’s End, Kellwood, and others, is the creative director for Make It Ruby. “We like presenting projects that fit the upcoming holiday. In this case, there’s nothing more fun than getting ready for a night out or at home with friends and eating candy.”
