A DIY LEGO Star Wars Clock: a better way for kids to ring in the New Year than champagne

A DIY LEGO Star Wars Clock: a better way for kids to ring in the New Year than champagne

You have to love any DIY tutorial that includes among the instructions "print out Death Star from the Internet." And I especially love it when it combines two of our favorite things--LEGO and Star Wars.


I love this tutorial for a DIY Star Wars LEGO Clock at Instructables. I wouldn't say it's quite for beginning crafters, but it could be a lot simpler if you buy a ready-made wooden clock and just get out the glue.

The best part is that, being LEGO, the minifigs are interchangeable. So if you would prefer, say, a LEGO Friends clock, you can do that too. Just maybe skip the Death Star part. Or not? Something tells me my girls would kind of like that. -Liz
