The Fault in Our Stars Keychain

"As he read, I fell in love like you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once." -John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

One of this month's book club books was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.  This, as many of the other books you have seen on this blog, is classified as a teen novel.  The vocabulary is higher level, but for an older teen I would recommend this book.  John Green brings to life characters that are going through not only the struggles of being a teenager (independence, love, growing up) but also the struggles of dealing with cancer.

The two main characters in the story, Hazel and Gus, use the word okay to convey that they not only care about each other but to check in with how they are handling everything.  For this reason, I made an "okay" key chain.

Materials:

• Black polymer clay
• White polymer clay
• Black puff paint
• White puff paint
• Blue string (because the book cover is blue)
• Key ring

Directions:

1. Make a black cloud and a white cloud out of polymer clay. Poke a hole in the tops of the clouds. Bake in oven at 225 degrees for 15 minutes. Let cool.

2. Write "okay?" and "okay." on the clouds.

3. Use blue string to tie the clouds onto the key ring.

You can attach this to your key ring when you drive over to see the movie or to get this book.
