It all started with a Star wars blue lightsaber, then I decided it was time to make a couple more as I had a few different handles I wanted to try, first up is a light green one.

There also a dark green and mini light green Star Wars lightsaber pattern available.

To Assemble

• Stuff the handle and the light beam, sew the light beam to the handle. You could also place a cardboard tube into the light beam and handle to make them both stronger and less flexible.
• Sew on the grey band to the top of the lightsaber
• Sew on the yellow/gold band on the yellow/gold section

I am really glad these have worked out well so far and following these successes I still want to make a few more – I’ve already got the next one in mind!
