DIY Star Wars Lightsaber

I’ll admit it, I’ve never seen a full Star Wars movie. I grew up in a family that loves it, my husband has a blanket from childhood that his mother made and we are saving for when out son is older. I laughed when a picture circulating facebook popped up that said something to the effect of being in the 1% of people who have never seen Star Wars. I was nervous to share it!I am however a little excited about this new episode and we have plans to enjoy it on Christmas day as a family. To get us ready to enjoy our first Star Wars episode as a family, JDub and I got to work crafting a DIY Star Wars Lightsaber for each of us.

All you need to make your DIY Star Wars Lightsaber are a few easy supplies and about 5 minutes! That’s right, a lightsaber in 5 minutes. 

You will need a regular shaped pool noodle (you can find these year round at Target in the toy section)

Black Duct Tape

Silver 3M Expressions tape

Scissors

Measure out the length you would like your lightsabers to be and make a small mark on the spot. Using scissors make a puncture on the marked spot and trim off the excess noodle.

Wrap your handle area with the black duct tape. I made mine 3 widths long. Using the silver decorative tape design your unique handle. All finished, now get out there and have an epic lightsaber battle with your kids and their friends.
