Our whole household loves Star Wars so I wanted to make some Star Wars themed art for the walls. We’ve recently re-arranged the pictures in our living room so it felt like a good time to make something to hang alongside our Pez Dispenser frame and vintage type drawer.
My husband and I are huge fans of the original Star Wars episodes. Unfortunately my 7 year old loves episodes 1-3. Luckily as we were making this we got to decide when went into it!
DIY Leia and Hans Solo frame {a Star Wars craft}
I didn’t want to use any of our Lego minifigures so bought a Hans Solo and Leia figure. I love Princess Leia and her relationship with Han Solo. They were going to get covered in hot glue so I knew it was easier to buy ones for this purpose than raid my son’s collection. As well as the figures, I bought a small Deep Box Frame from Hobbycraft, deep enough to fit the minifigures.
I found a vintage Star Wars book in a charity shop and picked a page to decorate the back of the frame. It featured the Millennium Falcon which was perfect for this little project. I cut it to the right size and glued it to the back of the frame.
Then I applied hot glue to the back of each minifigure and carefully placed them on the picture. I removed any excess glue with my scalpel.
This was a quick and easy craft and would make a great Valentine’s gift. I’m thinking of making something similar for my son’s bedroom with his favourite Star Wars droids.
Oh my god, that is awesome! As a massive Star Wars fan, this is one of my favourite quick and simple, yet awesome craft pieces!
I love little lego figures, I have a few of their keyrings. Love the frame.

Oh my goodness I love this so much! So simple yet it looks absolutely fantastic!
I love this so much! I’m a huge Star Wars fan so I’m going to have to make one for myself now. It looks so simple yet it’s so creative too.
This looks so good and what a really good, simple way to create a gift x
What a great idea – Pickle would love one with Super Heroes in it! I might have a go! Kaz x
This is such a good idea! I love that you’ve used a page from a vintage book as the background too, it looks perfect!
This is so clever! Such a great, original gift idea for Star Wars fans too. x
I was just wondering which box frame you bought as I want to do something similar for my wedding decor.
It’s from Hobbycraft, the outside frame measures 12cm, the inside frame 8cm.
