May the Fourth

It's everyone's favorite celestial holiday, May the Fourth!  So in Star Wars style, we created fun crafts to celebrate the Lucas Legacy.

Perler R2D2

A local organization donated two large buckets of Perler beads a few months ago, so I have wanted to test the teen waters with this craft.  May Fourth became the obvious answer as I perused the internet for image inspiration.

What is That?

There are so many Star Wars characters and movies, I just can't keep up.  Okay...confession time...I've only eve watched Episode III and half of The Empire Strikes Back, so I leaned heavily on internet inspiration and student explanation.

Finalized Fun

These characters look great with a little attention to color change details.  R2D2 is my favorite!

Light Sabers in Any Color

These colorful light sabers were simple to sample and lots were made in the time we played.

Icy Sabers

For a fun way to cool down the action, we had Icy Sabers.  I used felt and hot glue to create Light Saber Coozies.  This was a great way to send everyone off into the galaxy.

Go Nuts for Donuts

The option to create something non-Star Wars led to this tasty doughnut.  Homer Simpson approves!

This wraps up another First Friday Art Club at the Southeast Steuben County Library.  

Check back in June to see what we've been making!

Totally Tubular!

Let's get Totally Tubular in June by Printing with Potatoes (and possibly some other vegetables).  Printmaking has never been so easy.  See you soon!
