How To Make A Star Wars Felt Lightsaber Popsicle Holder

this …

This Star Wars felt lightsaber popsicle holder is a fun and unique Star Wars Craft for May 4th. Kids can use their felt lightsaber to hold their popsicle without cold hands. Plus, it’s great at catching any spills and since it is felt, you can gently wash it and reuse it every year!

I love to pair this Star Wars Day craft with this Darth Vader hat because my kids love to run around and pretend to battle with their lightsabers. One wears the hat to be Darth Vader and the others try to defeat them.

How To Make A Felt Star Wars Lightsaber Popsicle Holder

1. Cut out gray felt squares. Measure it to the size of the popsicle.

2. Fold the gray square in half.

3. Glue the bottom and side edges together, leaving the top open to form a pocket.

4. Cut out a small black square and two thin rectangles. Glue them onto the gray felt.

5. Cut out a red or blue circle and glue it onto the gray felt.

6. Slide a popsicle in to form the “lightsaber blade”

Tips and Variations For This Lightsaber Craft

• Let kids experiment with different shapes and details to create their own unique lightsaber designs. Even though a traditional lightsaber is gray and black, kids can choose any color felt to create their lightsaber.
• Let the glue dry completely before handling. If the glue isn’t dry, the lightsaber will fall apart and the popsicle will fall out.
• Personalize the lightsaber popsicle holder by adding a name and date to it.
