Star Wars Snowflake Christmas Decorations

It's December, the time of year when people are busy decorating their homes and preparing for the holidays. Christmas trees are going up, presents are being bought and wrapped, lights are being strung, and dumb, giant, inflatable balloons in the shape of Santa or Frosty the Snowman are being staked in front yards all over the world.

Want to add a bit of Star Wars flavor to your Christmas decorations? Check out some of these cool snowflake designs. You can cut your own Star Wars characters from construction paper and hang them on your tree.

Neat!

These first two designs were conceived by a fan who then posted the design schematics online. The first features an alternating Bobba Fett and Clone design. The second features Darth Vader. In a nice touch, the centerpiece of the design is the Imperial logo. Check HERE for more complete snowflake-cutting instructions.

Inspired by these two designs, an artist by the name of Anthony Herrera put together Star Wars snowflake schematics for a few other characters, including the following:

Yoda

Admiral Ackbar

C-3P0

He has several more designs on his site, including Princess Leia, a very complicated R2-D2, storm trooper, rebel pilot, and others. Check out his site HERE for more designs and templates. 

All told, you could get about 12 different designs for your tree between the two sites. 

This Christmas, show your family how much you love the Star Wars universe. Toss out those lame "Babies First Christmas" ornaments and fill your tree with a collection of these homemade snowflakes featuring your most beloved Star Wars characters.
