HOWTO Make a Admiral Ackbar paper-bag puppet

Our pal Bonnie Burton has a new book out, the The Star Wars Craft Book. It includes this swell cephalodic puppet: "By reusing a paper lunch bag, you're recycling while making a cool puppet of Admiral Ackbar from Return of the Jedi. Have fun making other character bag puppets from the Star Wars universe."

Admiral Sackbar Puppet Craft (Thanks, Bonnie!)

Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Thanks for posting about my Star Wars craft! The book comes out in Sept., so I’m pretty excited to show off some geek crafting! ;-)

Many Bothans died to bring us this craft. Happily, their remains taste great on ciobatta bun.

DIY Star Wars puppets seem to be all the rage right now. Tom Angleberger just wrote “The Strange Case of Origami Yoda,” a young adult book which includes instruction to make an origami Yoda. My kids and their friends are all devouring that book.

If you need to buy a book to show you how to do something so obviously simple, then you have problems.
