Homemade Star Wars Costumes
I saw this at Dollar Store Crafts, and had to share : 9 Handmade Star Wars Costumes
Here’s one — too cute and funny. There are a bunch more, from Yoda to Jedi to Clone Troopers to Leia… Go see ‘em all!
Heather Says:
“Star Wars fans make costumes all year-round for various events, so it’s no surprise that there are a lot of costumes from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away represented at Halloween. I found some handmade Star Wars Halloween costumes that I absolutely loved this week, so

Just. Too. Awesome. Star Wars Party Food
I’m blown away by the awesomeness of this Star Wars party by Just Jenn. From the cutest lil Princess Leia cupcakes to clever Cloud City Pops, to Yoda Soda (straight from Dagobah!) to Carbonite Jello (complete with Han Solo action figure!), this is a great spread… She even did a deathstar watermelon (remember our deathstar cantaloupe from the Star Wars party this summer)? There’s bunches more too…
How to Make Clone Trooper (and Stormtrooper) Candy Pops
Need a little more Star Wars in your life? Inspired by this summer’s Clone Cupcakes and the Stuff on a Stick contest on Instructables, I was inspired the other day to create this tasty little Clone Army…
The pops are basically Rolo candies, covered in marshmallow fondant, with fondant details. No baking required!
Though I do admit that they are a bit time consuming…
But were definitely appreciated by the young Star Wars fans…
Wanna Make them yourself?
I’ve written up the whole thing as an instructable, with tons of photos… Read on…
Phineas & Ferb / Star Wars the Clone Wars Party Food!
I promised more on the food for the party – we did it as a brunch to try to beat the heat a little bit. Since it’s food related, I’ve actually posted the writeup over at Foodwhirl: Menu for the birthday party brunch food. So go check it out!
The menu included Deathstar Cantaloupe, Mr Slushie Dogs, Roast Bantha, and even Platypus Eggs!
(Thanks to the Evil Mad Scientists for the Deathstar Cantaloupe idea!)
How to Make Clone Trooper Cupcakes
For the Clone Wars section of the birthday party, (for the Phineas and Ferb themed cake, go here!) the hubby and I came up with the idea for upside down clone trooper helmet cupcakes. These cupcakes were the hit of the party with the five-year-old boy set, though I will warn you, they are a bit time consuming to assemble. But well worth it! So here’s how to do them.
Cupcakes: You’ll need good firm cake, similar to pound cake. Here’s the recipe I used. I don’t know if it was luck, or overfilling the… Read on…
Some photos from The Boy’s birthday party
I’ll have more later, including a how-to on the Perry the Platypus Cake, and the Clone Trooper Cupcakes, but here’s some pic’s from the Phineas & Ferb meet the Clone Wars 5th Birthday Party. It was quite a success!

Party Planning is in the Works!
Posting may be light this week because I’m getting things ready for The Boy’s 5th birthday party this weekend–but I’ll be sharing a bunch of the stuff we do for it here, so stay tuned! As mentioned before, it’s a Phineas and Ferb meet Clone Wars party (Invitation here!).
So what’s in the works? Cake wise we’ll be having a Perry cake, and also clone trooper cupcakes (assuming they work out like I plan!). It’s at brunch time (to try to beat out some of the heat of early june) so I’m planning on brunch food & drinks–… Read on…
Phineas & Ferb meet the Clone Wars
(Edit: The Party has come and gone… see the Perry Cake, the Clone Wars Cupcakes, and everything else: Phineas & Ferb Meet the Clone Wars Party!)
The Boy has a birthday coming up, and I figured I’d better be early (ok, I’m reaching for an IF theme! edit: Another IF for Early is HERE!) drawing an illustration for his birthday party invite. (Previous year’s party invitations: Dragon and Robots.) His pick for a party theme this year? Phineas & Ferb AND Star Wars – The Clone Wars. So what was I… Read on…
