Getting ready to celebrate Revenge of the Fifth with a friend from the Empire

For those that are fans of the empire or just have soft spot for these iconic soldier outfits, this adorable stormtrooper plushie is a perfect little crafty creation. This one is sized to be relatively portable, I even took it on vacation to check out the Empire's enclave. It is really easy to make you only need white felt (to cut the front and the back side), black iron-on (for the image on the front), stuffing and needle and thread to put it all together. The hardest part is weeding all the little pieces away but due to the size of this plushie it is not that bad.  I hand stitched the pieces together along the edge but this may be even faster if it is top stitched with a sewing machine or may be able to be glued together with fabric glue.  *tip: Due to the shape of the stormtrooper, it may be helpful to have something to help push the stuffing into all the edges/corners. I used to clean chopstick to help me get into the corners. Hope you like the stormtrooper and maybe it inspire
