What Star Wars fan wouldn't love their own Darth Vader or Boba Fett ornament, hand made by you?
To make this embroidered felt Darth Vader ornament...
Supplies: black felt, white and black embroidery thread, needle and some ribbon
Directions: Cut the helmet out of 2 pieces of black felt, using the pattern below. With white embroidery thread, begin to embroider Darth Vader's mask onto one piece of the black felt. When you have completed all the embroidery, do a simple running stitch, with black thread, to attach the back to the front and enclose a ribbon loop at the top.
Then add your ornament/gift tag to the top of a present. I, admittedly, am not familiar with Darth Vader but something tells me, he might not appreciate the ribbon accessory.
To make a Boba Fett felt ornament...
Directions: Using the pattern above, cut all your pieces out of felt. I opted to embroider the eyes {in black} and the scratch marks {in yellow}.
Glue the mask pieces of felt onto the front of Boba Fett. The cream and black, for the antenna should be added to the back piece. When you have completed your embroidery and your glue has dried, do a running stitch with your green thread to secure the back to the front and also enclose the ribbon loop.
These ornaments can also double as gift tags, simply embroider the name on the back of the ornament...
May the force be with you, should you attempt to make your own.

I'm no expert on the whole Star Wars geeky thing -- I'm a Harry Potter geek so space travel is like duh -- but I'm pretty sure I see a disturbing scowl on felt Dark Vader with the curly ribbon ...
ReplyDeleteYou may want to check the skies before you turn in tonight ...
:)
How gorgeous! Your one nephew looks a lot like Grace.
ReplyDeletemay the force be with you!

ha ha...these are really cute. My son is just now getting into Star Wars. He'd think these were really cool!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love these. But the tree is alreay decorated - bummer! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are really neat! Thanks for sharing them - They probably wouldn't make it on our tree - I'm a Star Trek fan with ST ornaments ;-) - but I was thinking these would be great as tags for gift packages for birthdays!
ReplyDeleteAs a huge Star Wars fan, I'm loving these ornaments! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteAny chance you will be adding these to your Etsy shop soon?
ReplyDeleteI imagine there would be a copyright infringement. These will not be for sale. Thank you, though, for thinking they would be good enough to sell.
DeleteSuper cute! And so are those boys!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up at I Gotta Create! <3 Christina
I'm so making these for myself - i'm a star wars fan - i love them - i'm going to have to go a step further and make some other characters!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! You'll have to let me know if you do make other characters. I'd love to see them.

I don't even have any great Star Wars line to put in my comment. :(
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would love something like that!
ReplyDeleteStar Wars seems to be universal from the very young to the very old and every where in between.
DeleteThis is such a fun idea! I may have to create some for my husband and son. Love!
