First a blue, now a green, these Star Wars crochet lightsabers are multiplying quickly

It all started with a blue lightsaber and I decided to make a couple more as I had a couple more handles I wanted to try, now it’s time for a green one.

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!
