MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Recently Ava was invited to a Star Wars themed dress up party. As we left it until the last minute to try and find something for her to wear, we found it quite difficult to source Star Wars stuff that didn’t cost a small fortune.

My husband and I rang around in search of masks, capes etc to no luck, as we were not prepared to spend $60 on a Darth Vader mask with a voice-altering gadget (although it did sound pretty awesome!).

So, whilst Googling where to find costumes we stumbled upon a link to free printables for Star Wars masks – BINGO! Gotta love Google and Pinterest.

We downloaded a set of masks, which included most of the main characters and printed out the Princess Leia and Ewok versions. I then pasted them onto a thin poster board (to make them stronger) and cut them out, including holes for the eyes. Using a scalpel blade or cutting knife is good for accuracy of cutting around the shapes, but scissors would also do the job.

With a single hole punch, I punched a hole on either side of the mask to thread through the elastic (to put over Ava’s head). I actually didn’t have any elastic on hand and ended up using some silver thread that I had left over from my wrapping supplies.

So while Ava’s masks were not the real deal, they certainly worked a treat at the party and we didn’t spend a cent – result!
