Craft: Archie Comic Bangle
Ever since I learned how to read I have loved me some Archie comics. I saw something similar in Segovia in a tiny little boutique. I had to say goodbye to it though as I couldn't justify the price they were asking for it. Well I got myself a brain wave a few weeks ago! All you need is a cheapo bangle from Michael's (mine was $1.50), some cut up Archie comics, and Modpodge. This whole project took me two episodes of Lost and an overnight drying time. I found it was best if you made little cuts around the comic cells so that they could conform to the edges of the bangle. Modpodge the bangle first, add the paper, and then Modpodge over. If you can do a bunch of layers to ensure the paper is safe. Once it's dry it is pretty durable! The only thing I'd change if I did it again was to use a wooden bangle instead of plastic to have a less slippery surface to stick too. Enjoy!
