May the 4th Be With You!<\/strong><\/div>\n

While you are having your\u00a0Star Wars\u00a9<\/sup>\u00a0<\/em>movie marathon you might want to create your own\u00a0Star Wars\u00a9 <\/sup><\/em>Universe. After all, who doesn’t need their own Han Solo in soaponite? An Ewok flower vase, or a Space Slug draft blocker?<\/p>\n

The Star Wars Craft Book<\/a><\/em> will help you create these, and oh, so many more!<\/p>\n

There is a complete list of supplies needed to create any of the crafts in the book. Most of them are easily accessible or found around the house. Supplies include (but are not limited to)\u00a0a needle-nose plier, sandpaper, tape measure, ruler, tape and binder clips.\u00a0Each of the crafts has step-by-step instructions and are illustrated in full-color.<\/p>\n

The book is divided into 5 sections:<\/p>\n

Playtime<\/span> includes finger puppets, a washcloth Wampa, and, for you cat lovers, a mouse Droid cat toy.\u00a0Home Decor<\/span>: Every\u00a0Star Wars\u00a9<\/sup><\/em> home (universe) should have a Chewbacca tissue cover, Jabba the Hutt body pillow. And, of course there is Han Solo soaponite!<\/p>\n

For the holidays<\/span> you can have a Wookiee pumpkin for Halloween, a Mistle-TIE Fighter, or a Hanukkah Droidel.\u00a0Nature & Science<\/span> includes a Dagobah carnivorous plant habitat, a Wookiee bird house and an AT-AT herb garden.<\/p>\n

And for those of you who want that\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a9<\/sup> style, there is a chapter that includes character rings, 5 things to do with your\u00a0Star Wars\u00a9<\/sup><\/em> t-shirts, and my favorite – a crocheted R2-D2 beanie!<\/p>\n

Perhaps, you’d like to create your own Daisy Ridley (Rey) blaster that she used in\u00a0Star Wars: The Force Awakens.\u00a9<\/sup>\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>This\u00a0youtube <\/a>video will help you do just that!<\/p>\n
