Somehow I married into Nerdiness! I’m not sure how, but my husband has convinced my kids that StarWars is cool! So one day they were begging to make lightsabers, and this is what I came up with. It was super easy to make so I hope you will give it a try.

What you will need

Blue and red tape. or whatever color light saber you are making Blue and red Flashlight. Glue Gun and glue for glue gun Sharpies Transparent Paper or you could probably cut the inside of a large coke bottle and use its plastic. (Recycling a plus) So the first step is coloring the transparent paper whatever color you would like your lightsaber to be. Next you will use a glue gun to glue your transparent colored paper together. try to roll it a little larger than the diameter of your flashlight. You just glue a little, then roll a little. See the video below.

Next is the easy part. Just place the flashlight into the rolled up paper and tape up half the flashlight and half the transparent paper. See the video below.

(if you are way to lazy for the glue and markers you can also use those long skinny bubble containers with flashlights and create the same effect)

(if your super lazy then just buy an awesome Lightsaber!)

Now is the fun part…… Jedi Training!

We used our lightsabers we made and balloons and of course we needed to take out a stormtrooper.
