The Star Wars characters are SO easy to make, just glue and paint! All you need to make your set of Star Wars movie characters are – Toilet roll cores/ paper tubes – Glue gun – Pencil – Acrylic paints and brushes – Two beads
Paint the toilet roll cores with a coat of white paint and when dry lightly sketch on the features of your movie characters. Then paint the characters. For Princess Leia’s hair buns, simply glued beads onto each side of her head and paint them the same brown color for her hair.
Keep painting around the pencil guidelines on each roll and before you know it, you will end up with a full set of fun characters to act out any wild and wonderful Star Wars scenes!
