Death Star Holiday Tree Topper – Christmas Geek Crafts

December 18, 2013 By Jillian Boyd

DIY Death Star Christmas Tree Topper

(c) offbeathome

Decorating the tree is one of the most fun things to do in the run-up to Christmas (unless you’ve got a cat…) – and putting the topper up is an absolute highlight. There are all kinds of awesome toppers you can buy, but none of them are probably as geeky as this home-made one.

Yes, Dorks, that is indeed a Death Star Christmas tree topper…

This geekerific topper was made by Meg from Offbeat Home and Life. Although it looks like quite a difficult make (I thought it was papier-mâché at first), Meg assures that it’s really easy. And not papier-mâché at all; the base is a basic plastic (or glass) round ornament.

Your equipment list:

  • A plastic or glass round ornament;
  • Black acrylic paint; 
  • Painter’s tape;
  • Mod Podge;
  • Silver glitter.

What’s cool about it is that you can also make it as a tree ornament; just keep the little hanger on top and you can hang the Death Star in your Christmas tree. It’s bound to be a bit of a messy project, what with all the glitter and paint – but the end result is well worth it. Just as long as you’re willing to answer questions about what exactly that moon-shaped thing on top of your tree is supposed to be.

You can find the entire tutorial, including pictures on Offbeat Home and Life.

More crafty (and Star Wars-y) inspiration

  • If you fancy making your own Star Wars-themed Christmas presents, for that special geek in your life, our very own Emma found this cute Wicket the Ewok amigurumi pattern.
  • Or if you’re a bit handier at knitting, and you’ve got a tiny Jedi to give presents to, this knitted stuffed R2D2 is ideal.
  • Crochet and Star Wars meet again – gift your crochet-mad friend this lightsaber crochet hook grip (which you can either make yourself, or buy read-made off Etsy).
