Our 4- year old daughter loves princesses so we decided to give her a new spin on that idea and introduced her to Star Wars. She wanted to be Darth Vader for Halloween but decided that idea wasn’t “pretty” enough and asked to be Pink Darth Vader. In her mind, it was 1/2 bride (another … Read more
My grandson wanted to be R2D2 this year. How hard can that be, I asked. I started with paper mache for the head, boy was that a mistake! It was messy and way too heavy! Luckily, that was the end to my hard, messy attempt. The rest was pretty simple and quick! Using a yoga … Read more
How did you come up with the idea for this costume? Since the age of three my son has been obsessed with Star Wars. For the past several years my son and I have been recreating costumes from the movies. This year we decided to go outside the norm and recreate a lovable creature from … Read more
My grandson loves Star Wars and wanted to participate in a Star Wars costume contest at a Pirates game. There were no Ewok costumes anywhere to be found.

In 2006, I wanted to make a homemade R2D2 costume that I could drive from the inside. You might not believe this but I am 5′ 11″ and 200 lbs and I fit in and drive this costume around! I did a little research and printing out pictures and I came up with a basic plan how … Read more
