Crafty Star Wars

Posted by Danielle in Crafts & Hobbies on April 5, 2010

I will always be a Star Wars geek. Yes, I like Star Trek, but it’s not like you can crochet a USS Enterprise amigurumi… well, ok, maybe you can, but, point being, there’s lots of things to craft when it comes to the Star Wars universe, and I am not seeing a bunch of Star Trek crafts online. You see? Star Wars WINS. Ahem. ANYWAY. I flipped when I saw these amigurumi at Geek Dad, especially Chewie here. Chewie, you are adorable and totally worth buying a $3.50 pattern so I can create you myself. (You can buy all ten patterns on Etsy.)

Another item in the amazing crafts department is this metro-ticket X-Wing fighter:

It’s a thing of beauty, truly. (I love the X-Wing.) Them being Paris metro tickets makes them that much cooler, I admit.

Last but certainly not least: not really a craft, but LEGO art of the most charming sort. A cross between Star Wars and the utmost in British sensibilities, the cup of TEA. The creator has made the two Keep Calm and Carry On posters available for sale as cards and posters: Imperial version | Rebel version
