Bring the adorable droid from Obi-Wan Kenobi to life with this easy craft.

Obi-Wan Kenobi introduced Star Wars fans young and old to new heroes, including the indomitable L0-LA59! Lola, as she’s better known, is a dear friend to young Princess Leia who sticks by her side during a harrowing adventure. Curious and cute, Lola helps Leia, other kids, and even a Jedi Master feel a little bit better when they’re scared.

LOLA

If your kids need some extra bravery or a steadfast companion in their room, this DIY droid is a fun, creative project you can do together! Never underestimate a droid craft.

What You’ll Need

  • Pushpin or pencil
  • Three paper plates
  • Scissors
  • Black paper
  • Small cup or other circle shape
  • Pencil
  • Bright blue paper

  • School glue
  • Silver acrylic paint
  • Yellow marker
  • Straw
  • Fishing line or thin string

Step 13: Cut a piece of fishing line at least 6” in length. Tie a knot in one end. Thread the other end of the line through the hole you made in the first step. Tie a loop in the top of the string so you can hang LOLA later.

Step 15: Push the pencil or the tip of the scissors into the top of Lola’s head near the back edge.

Step 16: Glue the edges of the silver plate and Lola’s head together. (It should look like a hamburger shape.) Let the glue dry.
