Princess Leia is sad because disco is dead like Alderaan.

This disco ball is sooOoo shabby chic. Governor Tarkin would get his undies in a bunch over the destruction of his beloved superlaser but woops, he dead.

A lot of us in generation iPhone have to bootstrap our home décor….especially if we are holding down nearly any kind of job in this modern workplace, sifting through economic silt of our forefathers.  This Death Star Disco Ball is not the cheapest craft you can make (it will cost you about $100 of your monthly candy fund and 17-500 hours of your free time), BUT…Imagine this sparkling ball hanging from the stucco in your own home: a conversation starter for infinity and beyond! An ice breaker that actually looks like broken ice. And if you are a 70s afficionado, well, what better to express “DISCO IS DEAD” this than the mirrored detritus of an exploded fictional weapon of massive planetary destruction? OKAY, OKAY.

Star Wars is the overused film franchise from which I siphon much inspiration. And mirror balls have been a staple of the Brady Bunch corner of my mind for years!  And of course I love crafting pretty hard, for its therapeutic properties no doubt. Once in a while I need to sit down for 14+ hours at a labia-numbing craft like this just to get the kinks out of my whirring psyche.

You’ll need a few runs to the store for obscure supplies. If you are dedicated to cultural references and can gather up some clumsy, gleaming ambition, then you’re all set. Watch the for the complete tutorial & may the Schwartz be whichu. And SIDENOTE YET RELATED: Princess Leia Headphones are back in the shop. I also added an exorbitantly priced Death Star Disco Ball if you are someone who would be interested in that.

What’s your favorite Star Wars character? I love Chewbacca, with his Tyra Banks skyscraper forehead and permanent bell bottoms,  And I’m actually not a Darth Vader hater. I think he looks pretty cool (helmet on) and would even let him borrow my inhaler so…..
