Go to a store, spend $20 on materials, and build a lightsaber hilt! That’s the challenge the PropTart community created and we decided to participate and build our own lightsabers. Our store of choice was the second-hand store Goodwill and we used plastic toy gun parts for most of our build.
It’s awesome to see how many different lightsaber hilts were created in this challenge. The PropTarts are compiling a video of all the image submissions which, when it’s complete, we’ll link below.
This “Go Prop Yourself” challenge was created by the PropTarts and is called #gopropyourselflightsaber
Rules:
1) Have fun!
2) $20 (or equivalent currency) or less in materials
