Ludo necklace

This is a short and effective instructable for how to make a Ludo necklace. I came up with the idea since the Swedish word for Ludo is Fia, which in it's turn is a short form of her name. It turned out to be a colorful yet kinda neutral piece of jewelry that works for both a casual event and a party. As an added bonus the kids at the preschool where she works thinks it's really cool. I do too.

This is what you'll need:
- A foot and a half of leather string
- Five small black beads
- Four Ludo pieces that you are free to mutilate slightly

Estimated cost:
Under five bucks, depending on if you have to buy the leather, beads and extra Ludo pieces.

Step 1 Mutilation

Ok. The truth is that you'll need to mutilate the Ludo pieces slightly. I used the business end of a sharp knife to gently carve holes in their necks. One on each side so that it would be possible to thread them on the leather string. Having a thin file might make the work easier and ensure that you don't get too sharp edges. Make sure to watch out for joints in the plastic of the Ludo piece, trying to carve/drill a hole in the joint might make the entire piece split sooner or later.
