Leave a comment

Stuffed Banthas, Action Figure Wreaths, a Chanukah Droidel, and many others, Star Wars crafts have been one of the most popular sections of StarWars.com, and now Bonnie Burton, the crafty woman behind these projects, has released The Star Wars Craft Book, a book with the best crafts from StarWars.com and never-before seen crafts for Star Wars fans of all skill levels and experience. On this week’s Star Wars Action News, Bonnie joins Arnie and Marjorie to talk about her past with crafts, her inspiration behind the book, and ways you can modify the crafts for even more Star Wars touches in your home!

And in celebration of Bonnie’s new book, we are giving away five more Star Wars Craft Kits from Del Rey Books!

All this and more on this week’s Star Wars Action News!
