Star Wars Theme Birthday Party Ideas!

Star Wars cake from here.

After earning their very own light sabers, the Jedi-in-training learned defense maneuvers and techniques for battling the Empire from the Master and became certified Jedi Knights. Dawn Ey from MerryB Events created this Jedi Knights and Star Wars birthday bash!

Dawn describes how she made R2D2, "I was doing some research for Hill’s upcoming Star Wars birthday party this week and I ran across an everyday waste basket on clearance that possessed a striking resemblance to R2D2. Naturally, I brought him home and commenced the conversion process. Using hot glue, spray paint that adheres to plastic, duct tape in three colors (blue, silver and white), and random household objects I transformed this plastic cast-off into a key Star Wars character. My R2’s head may not rotate or transmit galactic images of Princess Leia in danger, but this little friend will serve as a great prop for Hill’s special celebration!" I have to say this is clever, clever!

Make your own r2d2 craft project!

Dawn said, "A Storm Trooper cake was ceremoniously defeated to celebrate the rebel victory".
