Join us on Friday, May 4th as we celebrate the unofficial Star Wars holiday — May the 4th Be With You!
Bolts & Bytes will be hosting three sessions on Facebook Live where we’ll show you how to make some fun Star Wars themed projects. We’ll build droids, an X-Wing Fighter model and make some of your favorite Star Wars characters — all using materials that you probably already have around the house!
Projects & Materials Lists
These fun projects use materials that you may already have around the house, like construction paper, glue, paper towel rolls, binder clips, etc. In the lists below, we’ve labeled materials that are essential to the project — but don’t worry if you don’t have exactly the same materials that we’re using. Part of the fun of these projects is using what you have on hand to show off your individual creativity!
