Pool Noodle Lightsabers

So it’s the last weekend of the summer and I thought it would be fun to squeeze in one more summer time craft.  Luck would have it I found just the perfect one.  Apparently, if you take some pool noodles, duct tape and electrical tape you can make foam lightsabers!  I instantly thought… I have to make those.  So this weekend I tracked down some noodles (which was hard because they’re out of season), bought a fresh roll or duct tape and set to work. What you do is measure the center of the noodles and cut them in half.  Then take your duct tape and cover the bottom of one of the your noodle.  Then measure up a good amount for the handle and wrap strips of duct tape around and around until you get to the bottom.  Then decorate the handle with the electrical tape and you’re done!  It’s so easy and so cool too.  Plus it’s way too much fun beating the crap out of someone with a foam lightsaber.

Look here for more detailed pictures on how to make them and yes… I know.  I need to cut my lawn.
