Star Wars Tie-Fighter Video Tutorial Plus More

Bloopers and all, this video takes you through how I created a Star Wars Tie-Fighter gift box for my nephew's birthday Nintendo DS gift!  Darth Vader would be pleased with my resourcefulness (or would he put me in a choke hold for goofing up the wings?).

Star Wars Tie-Fighter Gift Box

(If you can't see the video, click over to Episode #37 on my 2stampis2b YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/2stampis2b)

As I point out in the notes over the video, to create your hexagon wings, which is what I had set out to do instead of the octagons, cut a 6" circle from a piece of copy paper to make your pattern.  Fold the circle in half, then into thirds as you would for snowflake cutting.  Then cut the curve on the raw ends off straight.  Open up and you've got your hexagon pattern that you can trace onto your card stock!


To create your triangles for your wing panels from your hexagon, cut one triangle from your pattern piece, whack off 1/4" from two sides, then proceed as I did with the grid paper drawing to figure out your strip and cutting of the triangles.


You'll need to adjust the middle to fit your gift, but by following my methods I describe in the video, you can do it!
