DIY DISPLAY STAND

Via Starwars.com:

IT’S ALL TOO EASY.

If your Star Wars action figures are outgrowing your shelf space, or you’re the type who just likes to be a little more organized, you can make your own custom display stand in almost no time at all! Spray paint and decals can turn a boring, tiered wooden spice shelf into a scene straight out of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

This action figure display stand is inspired by the duel on the steps of Bespin’s carbon-freezing chamber — as seen below in an animated short from Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures. (We won’t judge you if you decide to use it just to re-enact the iconic lightsaber battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.)

What You’ll Need

Wooden spice shelf (3-tier)
Black spray paint
Black acrylic paint
Red adhesive vinyl sheet
5/8” circle paper hole punch

Star Wars Tie Fighter Playhouse

Via Instructables.com:

I designed and built the external elements for this playhouse with a team from Orchard Supply Hardware. This is our entry in a fun competition with other local businesses raising money for Habitat for Humanity. It is held annually at San Jose California’s “Christmas in the Park”. Last year we created a minature OSH store Playhouse with oversized Candy decorations shown in another Instructable.

This year we chose a Star Wars theme and picked the unique Tie Fighter because it was best suited to become a cool and fun playhouse for kids. It is built on a standard wood Playhouse kit that CITP provides with few restrictions on how it can be modified or decorated. You can build or purchase a standard Playhouse kit so I’m just describing how it was transformed into a “Tie Fighter”. I chose most of the materials from our stores. The entry side of the Playhouse features the sweetness of “Join us in the Dark Chocolate Side” and “We have Cookies” theme which is why it is painted a chocolate color with drips. The two primary Tie Fighter features are the Octagonal (8 sides) Port Window or Pilot Canopy and the Hexagonal (5 sides) Wings. There is also an Octagonal light fixture with an LED rotating “Party Light” and a white large metal ring to represent the round shape of the original Tie Fighter.

DIY STAR WARS FRAME

A ONE-OF-A-KIND STAR WARS DECORATION FOR DADS STRONG WITH THE FORCE.

Stumped on what to get the dad who has every Star Wars collectible for Father’s Day this year? Make your own unique piece of Star Wars memorabilia that celebrates Dad’s love of a galaxy far, far away while reminding him of a special family memory.

Find a copy of a Star Wars comic book featuring one of his favorite characters — trust us, don’t use one of his books unless you want him to turn to the dark side — or track down a beat-up vintage comic for a striking look. Then it’s time to get crafting! Here’s the how-to.

What You Need

Wooden photo frame
Star Wars comic book (vintage or recent)
Scissors
Pencil
Decoupage glue
Paint brush
Get Started!

Begin by finding a Star Wars comic book that you don’t mind ripping pages out of. Older comics, like this 1978 issue, can be found in bargain bins at your local comic book shop or convention. You can also pick up a recent comic, like Doctor Aphra or Poe Dameron, if Dad is a fan of the new faces in Star Wars.

DIY YOUNGLING AHSOKA TANO DOLL

Via Starwars.com:

LEARN HOW ONE FAN BROUGHT PRE-PADAWAN AHSOKA, GLIMPSED BRIEFLY IN STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, TO LIFE.

Most Impressive Fans is a feature highlighting the amazing creativity of Star Wars devotees, from cosplay to props. If there’s a fearless and inventive fan out there, we’ll highlight them here.

Artist and budding cosplayer Joanna Wallace could have used her own personal Obi-Wan Kenobi by her side as she embarked on her redesign of one-of-a-kind Ahsoka doll, an undertaking that required Jedi-like patience.

An action figure used as a practice test for custom painting ended up with a slightly melted face (sorry, Rey!), her first attempt at the Togruta’s montrals were too small even for the youngling, and hand-stitching the diminutive shift dress for the project proved to be more time-consuming than renovating her entire bathroom, she says.
