My family and I visit Half Price Books all the time, However I *just* found the star trek comic book section! (I don't know how I missed this before! I love comic books) and, being the geek I am I grabbed a couple of star trek comics- to read AND to craft with!
So Here's one project I did with them, (You will probably see a couple more) Comic book necklaces!
You could of course do these with a comic other than Star Trek. Though I can't imagine why you wouldn't want a "spock necklace" :)
Super kitschy, right? I love them!
Have you made anything with comic books? I'm still trying to decide what to do with the rest of the comics, so I would love some suggestions!! Let me know what you think...
xo, Katie
So flipping awesome!!! Beam me up Scotty!

Super idea, I can't wait to give it a try!
I love this!!! But I'll have to get a copy of a comic I'd be willing to cut up!!!! hee hee
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun - can't wait to try it. I'll have to find a comic book to cut up though. They're all too precious!
ReplyDeleteAt my son's nursery they have used comics to cover some of the children's chairs....it can lead to fights as they are the most popular chairs
ReplyDeleteI love the idea! I wonder have you thought of embedding comic book pictures?
ReplyDeleteI decoupaged a muppets comic to some wedge sandals I have. Now I have some pretty kick butt muppet sandals!
ReplyDeleteso glad i saw this on craft gossip! I host a monthly craft lunch at work and this is easy to do and something that all the men in my department are willing to participate in! lol. Can't wait to share my finished products next month.
