5-Minute Mini Lightsabers Kids Craft for Star Wars Day
A few years ago, I had a book signing event at Happy Up Inc. and it just happened to fall on May 4th, Star Wars Day. Even though the book I wrote has nothing to do with Star Wars, it's a book about all the best places to take kids in St. Louis, I wanted to commemorate the day with a make your own lightsaber station. A great way to celebrate May the 4th, so simple that even little kids can create the mini lightsabers, and so much fun. Oh and I also passed out a fun Star Wars coloring page!

Why is Star Wars so popular?
For almost 50 years, Star Wars has continued to maintain its popularity and be enjoyed around the world. The Star Wars movies never get old. It's a generational tie that just keeps on going. People love the iconic characters, the nostalgia, and sci-fi storytelling of good vs. evil.
DIY Lightsaber Using Glow Stick Bracelets
This is also a simple craft to bring the Star Wars universe to your birthday party! These mini lightsabers are easy to make and the kids will love playing with them.
What you'll need:
Glow sticks - I used glow stick bracelets but necklaces will work as well.
Duct tape in silver color or black electrical tape
Washi tape for added design (optional) - I used silver glitter that's narrow 3mm
Permanent marker - This is optional but needed if using duct tape to draw on stripes and buttons.
Other items that would work in place of glow sticks: Pipe cleaners, plastic straws or paper towel cardboard tubes.
What you'll do:
Cut a piece of electrical tape and Washi tape for the glow stick.
Wrap the bottom of glow stick with electrical tape.
Add Washi tape (or permanent marker if you used duct tape instead of electrical tape).
