HOWTO make a Storm Trooper helmet out of a milk jug

The delightfully named Filth Wizardry blog ("Sharing messy art and craft fun for preschoolers, with the help of my own filth wizards") has a great HOWTO for turning a gallon-sized milk-jug into a dashing Storm Trooper helmet: " Milk Jug Storm Trooper Helmet (Thanks to everyone who suggested this!)

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.

Aww… we don’t get milk in plastic bottles, and I don’t really use any other big plastic bottles, either. That was a really genious way to use them!

And thanks for the link to the blog, it has some really awesome ideas for crafts to do with my daughter. I’m definitely going to do the plasticine stamps!
