Book Description:
What began in 2004 as a regular
crafts feature on StarWars.com is now a book. While fans
might recognize some crafts from StarWars.com, the book
is also jam-packed full of brand new projects that cater
to both beginners and advanced Jawa-level crafters. The
book features fully-detailed, step-by-step instructions
and photos for each craft.
While this book won't show fans how to make a working
Death Star, the book does include tutorials on how to
make Star Wars art, puppets, dolls, pet toys,
stationary, holiday decorations, scarves, house wares,
jewelry, journals, planters, working volcanoes and more.
Most supplies in the book can be found in any craft
store, around the house, outdoors and even the recycling
bin. There are handy tips throughout on how to get the
most out of crafting, as well as interviews with other
fans that have made their own crafts that would impress
even Darth Vader.
"One of my goals for this book is to inspire fans
to see craft projects in items they would normally throw
away," author Bonnie Burton explains. "A holey
sock gets a new life as a Wookiee puppet. Shrunken
sweaters become coffee cup cozies. Strips of newspaper
become an area creature from Attack of the Clones. An
empty oatmeal container becomes a R2-D2 pinhole camera.
An extra-large Star Wars T-shirt at the bottom of the
closet can finally be useful as a tote bag. Once you
know how to make something ordinary into something
special, crafty inspiration will follow you
everywhere."
