Talk about a quick easy craft to share the Star Wars love – check out this Luke/Vader Light Side/Dark Side switchplate! Bet it wouldn’t take more than half an hour, tops!
With Christmas just days away, my brain is still in decorate mode. And believe me, if we didn’t already have a pretty star for the top of our tree, I would be madly scrambling to whip this Death Star Tree Topper together for our celebration.
Meg at Offbeat Home has graciously provided a tutorial for said tree topper, so you can add a bit of the Dark Side to your tree as well. Looks like a quick and easy project!
May the Force be with your Christmas!
This Baby Tie Fighter project combines two of my favorite things – geek-crafting and crochet. And I love how quick of a project this is – whip up two granny-type motifs and a radishy-looking ball, and boom, you’re done! And you’re off to fight those pesky rebels!
I love tiny things and I love Star Wars and I therefore find this Tatooine Terrarium terribly endearing. In fact, I rather like a bunch of The Wonder Room‘s offerings. Need a teeny Stonehenge? They’ve got it. A mini Moai? Got that, too. Also, unicorns!
So say you have kids who love playing Star Wars, but you don’t want them to hurt themselves with whatever approximation of lightsabers they’ll create. Alternately, you might have fully grown friends or relatives who still like playing Star Wars, but, again, you still don’t want them to hurt themselves. Enter the pool noodle lightsaber. With nothing but pool noodles, a serrated knife, and three kinds of electrical/duct tape, Muddy Boots blogger Amy created safe-but-cool-as-hell lightsabers for her son and his birthday guests, then posted the handy-dandy tutorial so we can do the same. Additional photos and tutorials can be found around the interwebs, if Amy’s post isn’t enough for you.
Well, it was worth the wait. Epbot‘s Jen Yates has posted pics of her finished Lady Vadore costume, followed by shots of her in action at Star Wars Celebration. Love the creativity and the attention to detail. And it lights up—how much more do you want? It lights up! So cool.
