	CRAFTS FOR YOUR HOME DÉCOR COSTUMES AND ACCESSORIES FOR MIDDLE EASTERN DANCE BoonDoggles Crafts not only does a wide range of eclectic items (from jewelry to clay objects) but also has a costume section fondly nicknamed 'Sew BoonDoggles'. Specializing in MEDance costumes from practice outfits to full 'bedlah' (beaded belts bra skirts and veils). Costumes can be purchased ready-made or custom ordered. Prices depend on material and sophistication of costume style. Do it yourself bead supplies are for sale (especially large quantity loose beads). Sew BoonDoggles was started in response to my need for dance costumes and then my students requests for costumes and accessories. While I focus mainly on teaching both dance and costuming, I do have some 'ready-to-wear' stuff available mainly through my classes for those who don't have the time or expertise to make their own.
