George Lucas' beloved sci-fi franchise just received a festive makeover thanks to the Star Wars Paper Snowflakes. The good news is that anyone can learn how to make one of these galactic decorations in their own home.
The Star Wars Paper Snowflakes come from the wife of an individual named David who posted the designs online. The idea emerged when his wife saw their son making a snowflake that resembled a Stormtrooper. This inspiration led to the creation of different templates to create various Star Wars-inspired Christmas crafts. There are templates for Darth Vader, Bobba Fett and a Clone Trooper for those looking to go geeky this holiday season. The results of indulging in this project will lead to detailed snowflakes with a sci-fi holiday twist.
