This is a clay bead necklace that features some of my favorite comic book characters: Garfield & Odie, Snoopy & Woodchuck, Hello KItty, the Angry Birds (not really a comic book character but I love them!), and even the Instructables Robot. This project is a lot of fun to make with kids and its fairly easy as long as you have some patience. And kids love to wear the necklace, especially if it has some of their favorite characters on it! But the best part of this project is that its cheap (no need to buy clay!) and made from materials that most people already have in their house, so you won't need to go buy anything.

If you like this please vote for it in the comic contest :)
