Explore the cardboard pieces, where these pieces of wood are! They are durable, high quality and very special!

BB8 is definitely my favorite little robot. His major debut was exceptional in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In 2016, I organized a big birthday party called “The Force Awakens” . These little guys were a great piece of jewelry.

I've always loved Star Wars. I saw Empire Strikes Back when I was only 4 years old and loved it. It originated in the Battle of Indore and Jabba Huta. I like that Star Wars has been happening for generations and has given us all a common theme/love/obsession that spans more than one age group.

Leave your fourth date with you soon , and this is the perfect time to celebrate the art of Star Wars!

Star Wars Droid Supplies Required:

Step 1: Vinyl

Start downloading the photo cropping software. Google makes it easy to find a black and white PNG file. Load to Cricut Design Space and save it as "clipboard".

My drawing is a rug size of 24 inches. Delete the image, but save the draft for the next step.

Apply transfer tape to the vinyl so that it is ready for step 4.

Step 2: Draw the vinyl

I also made pieces out of Baby Yoda - Grog! Also see the full post here - more details and lots of photos of the process.

Step 3: Cut down the tree

Take your piece of wood to the yard, garage, or lumber shop. Use the puzzle to cut the vinyl, giving it some space around the perimeter of the edge. (Photo below for Baby Yoda clips)

Then smooth the edges of the wood to make it nice and smooth.

Step 4: Apply the vinyl

Now clean the substrate from the vinyl cover and level the cut wood. Start at the top of the robot and smooth the vinyl. Then use a scraper and press the vinyl to hold it for a long time.

Repeat the vinyl process for all the statements you make. This process can be difficult. Clean the top of the substrate and stick the top of the vinyl to the wood.

Then wash, sand, and glue the vinyl inch by inch.

And now to the boxes!

It's like a big page in a coloring book!

This is what brings life to part of the project! These adorable robots can be painted like Star Wars colors...or get creative and match your home decor with your favorite colors or get even more creative by adding fun paint, sponges or fun effects!

Oh, the galaxy pattern would be so cute!

Step 5: Draw the Emoticons

Use acrylic paint to paint the shapes around the black vinyl. Once painted, the vinyl can be removed, so don't be careful. I'm still careful and trying to stay on the line... but I'm not very good.

Once painted, wipe off the vinyl coating with a baby cloth or Lysol cloth. Then let it dry.

You can spray it with a clean buffer, but this is optional. Now they're ready to use as home or holiday decorations!

This is! These two cute guys, as well as little Grog, have always occupied a place in my house as part of the decor.

They are very kind and make me happy every time I pass by them. Oh, here are the bots you are looking for!
