This past May, after a few years of helping me make elaborate and pretty masculine costumes (General Grievous, Chewie, R2D2), my daughter requested an easy-to-wear and girly costume for our May the Fourth Party. Since she had already been Princess Leia and Ahsoka, we figured it was time for Padmé Amidala.

DIY Party C-3PO Shirt
Saturday is really the only day we ever get a chance to do any crafts at the M4P HQ. So if, like us, you are looking for an easy fun project for tomorrow, here is the downloadable pattern and instructions on how to make the M4P C-3PO Tshirt.
Easy Peasy Costumes
After a bit of a break getting ready for, and hosting our own May the Fourth be with You Party, we are now back to the blog… though still a bit tired. So I thought we would feature something EASY today. Since we are showcasing Gene Ha while his Kickstarter Campaign is going on, today we are sharing his and (his better half) Lisa’s perfect, yet super simple, costumes from last year.
Revenge of the Fifth! (DIY Party Darth Maul Shirts)

Ask, and you shall receive! Here is a pattern for a Sith version of the extremely popular M4P party shirts we posted yesterday… just for you guys who prefer to party it up today instead (You HAVE heard of Revenge of the Fifth, right?)! I have not had time to make an actual shirt of this pattern yet, so if you make one, please send a picture to us and I will post it here! (remember it is a family blog though!)
“the Fourth be with You” is our middle name! (DIY May the Fourth Party Shirts)
Here at the May “the Fourth be with You” Party Blog, we have spent all weekend making food and decorations for this year’s Big Party. Before that, we spent 6 months posting ideas from previous parties. On our blog, you’ll find lots of inter-galacticly fun ways of celebrating the 4th. We have more foods and craft ideas than you can shake Lightsaber at at…. (that last one was a typo, really, but I thought it was appropriate so I am keeping it in)
Happy “May the Fourth be with You” Everyone!
