Yoda Felt Doll

[bonniegrrl]

Hi! I do the crafts section on starwars.com, and I figured since there were so many Star Wars fans here, I'd occasionally post about some of the craft projects I've posted on the site. Here's our big archive list of projects I've done so far:

First up -- Yoda Felt Doll!



This is a super-easy craft and usually can be completed in a could of hours. I did this tutorial as a craft demo at both Maker Faire and Star Wars Celebration IV, and it was a big hit. So hopefully you'll dig it too!

The complete instructions with photos and downloadable doll pattern can be found here.

And if you'd like to see how people personalized their own Yoda dolls, check out my Flickr here of completed dolls:

Love!

And how did you ever get such a great job as "craft-person" for starwars.com?  This guy almost makes me love Star Wars again (the new trilogy, especially the slaughter of Darth Vader's character, really ruined the series for me.  Darth Vader was cool when he was mysterious, but now that he's just a whiny adolescent...).

I really love this!

Oh, and thanks for the archive link!

I'm such a craft addict, that I begged and pleaded to get a craft section created for the kids section of the site, and it worked!

I also edit the drawing section on starwars.com if any of you are into drawing Star Wars characters and vehicles:

hmmm so apparently the mods here say I can't link to my Star Wars tutorials directly in a post, but they're okay with me listing it in my sig file...

so if any of you want tutorials to various fun Star Wars crafts, then please click there to check out all the crafts. I usually update it with a new craft every other week.

Thanks for the link!  I'm going to make my 12 y/o Star Wars-loving-son some of those marble magnets to slip into his Christmas stocking.
