Last year my husband got  us tickets for Star Wars night at our local baseball stadium. I needed to quickly make my son something to wear so I found a great tutorial on Pinterest. Link to Pin I Used for Tutorial 

DIY Bobba Fett Sweater My husband wanted to make a sweater for our local baseball team's STAR WARS NIGHT since it was going to be freezing. Of course he decide it the afternoon of the game.  This was a speed project, took about 1 hour total.  1. He printed the images using a dark iron on transfer.  2. We cut our pieces of flannel for the chest plates.  He used a template he found on the internet.   3. I pinned and sewed the fabric in place. I used a rough zig zag stitch since Bobba Fett is known for being damaged and rough, I didn't want it too look to neat and clean.  4. The final step my husband ironed on the images. Finished Product:

My son used his hand prints to make a Star Wars craft for my husband for Father's Day. We used a blank canvas, craft paint, and fabric markers -  Cost less then $5. First Step - Make Handprints with different colored craft paints   Finished Project - just added accents with fabric markers   Yoda and Chewy     R2D2 and C3PO - Tie Fighters are Thumbprints    Star Wars Inspiration Pinterest Board  

So we decided that we needed some Star Wars decor for our May the 4th Be With You party tomorrow. I took a $1.99 clock from Ikea and replace the face with a print out of the death star. Took about 5 minutes abs I think it came out great!    $1.99 IKEA Clock Finished Product 

We got our son the collection of Star Wars Cars diecast cars from Disney World for  May the 4th Be With You Day. We knew he would need track so my husband find a Cars racetrack on sale and decided to make it Star Wars themed. We replaced the cur out pictures with printouts of Hoth and laminated them do they would be more sturdy. It came out so good,  I can't wait to see his face in the morning.  Original Track   New Star Wars Track 

Here are the pictures of our completed Star Wars Easter bunnies before we sealed them and attached stakes.  We finished each bunny by screwing in lawn stakes into the back and sealing them with 2 coats of urethane wood sealer and some clear latex caulking around the stakes to prevent water from getting in between the wood.  Hope you enjoy them!

So one day while surfing Pinterest I saw a couple finger puppet star wars bunnies and got the greatest idea to make wooden bunnies inspired by the characters in Star Wars and Star Wars Rebels for our 1st ever Easter display.  This is our journey in making them First thing my husband printed out a bunny to trace onto wood. He then cut out 4 bunnies at a time using a wood saw. I then (with the help of my three year old) painted all of them by hand. I did everything free hand just looking at picture online. Now as a daughter of an actual artist I never thought I had artistic ability but I just loved painting these bunnies.  Here is a couple pictures of the bunnies during the cutting/painting process...

DIY Bleach Shirts  My Husband is really into making his own shirts. This is a simple shirt only using freezer paper and bleach. He cut out a ship image using freezer paper, ironed it to shirt, then used beach inside a spray bottle to spray around the ship image. He then peeled off the freezer paper. The bleach changes the color of the shirt wherever it was sprayed but leaves the image underneath the freezer paper unchanged. We have used this process a lot to create a lot of neat custom shirts.

 DIY Reversible Star Wars Comforter My son recently decided that he wanted to have a Star Wars bed. When looking for bedding I found that any really cool Star Wars bedding was only available in Twin. I decided to look at our local craft store and found this amazingly soft fleece fabric featuring retro Star Wars characters. I fell in love with it. I goggled the size of a Full Size bed (54"X75") and got enough fabric to have a little bit extra to deal with any uneven edges. On another trip I ended up finding another really neat piece of Star Wars fleece with all the ships and got the same amount. I sewed the two pieces wrong sizes together and then used Satin Blanket Binding to sew around all four edges. Since I used several coupons to buy the fabric it ended up only costing me about $30, a lot less then store bought ones that are not anywhere as cool!

My son recently decided to change his room from Jake and the Never land Pirates to Star Wars (which made his Daddy very very happy). I found some amazing fabric at JoAnn Fabrics to make his comforter ( DIY Star Wars Comforter ) but my husband decided to buy the sheets from Wal-Mart. Since my son doesn't like using his flat sheet and I didn't want to spend $16 on curtains that wouldn't even match I decided to use the unused sheet to make matching curtains.  Luckily for me I found that the sheet really only needed to be cut to size and sewed where I had to cut. Since my son's bed is a Full size we had plenty of fabric to use. I placed his old curtains on top of the sheet laid on the ground to size and then cut along the existing lines of the pattern After cutting I realized that i will actually have enough extra fabric to make a matching pillowcase, since the sheet was a lot longer than the curtain i used to make a pattern.   I folded ove...
