Come on, who does not LOVE getting presents?  And who does not LOVE to tear them open right away?  Not me, not this time. I recently received 3 small-ish boxes (from M4P friend Gene Ha) wrapped as Star Wars figures, and I just could not imagine that the inside could live up to the awesome outsides.  So I didn’t, open them, for a looong, time.

Well,  it turns out Gene (who we are featuring for the next few weeks…check out his Kickstarter campaign here) had made the wrapping in sections so I could carefully take it apart – just enough to get the box open, and then close everything up good as new.

So I did.  And of course there was another squeal of delight when I saw what was inside, a bobble-head Wicket. Very meta!

 …and stay tuned!  The other 2 presents will follow the next few posts!

Needed:

• Present: Wicket Bobble Head, OR check out our Gifts or Crafts sections for other ideas
• Box
• Brown Kraft Paper
• Dark Brown Paper
• Black Paper
• White Paper
• Tape
• Scissors
• Glue stick

How:

I have decided not to take them apart to figure out exactly how they were made,  but we can tell pretty well from the pictures.

1. Wrap the box with kraft paper.
2. Cut a piece of kraft paper large enough to cover half the box, wrap the top part, but do not tape.
3.  While the paper is still on the box, draw a circle large enough for the face, and cut out.
4. Now, wrap and tape together the hood.  (Do not tape to the box – you’ll want the hood to be able to slide off)
5. Cut eyes, ears and teeth.
6. Glue in place.
7. Voila!
