How to Make the Head for Luke Skywalker Pipe Cleaner Figure

Video Transcript

"Alright, now that I have shown you the basic supplies, let's make one. So the first figure I"m going to make is going to be Luke Skywalker and a pilot gear. This is the little orange suit that he wears whenever he goes inside his x wing. So first we are just going to start off with yellow. We would start to turn it into a little circle so you can see here. So when you think it is just about the right size and it looks like the size of somebodies head, you wrap it around like this to fasten it. Then pinch it and back. Now with this little piece here, we are going to cut right there. You don't have to use a lot of force with the scissors; just a little tiny cut will do and then you have the head. So now that we are finished with that let's get started on the body. You take out a orange pipe cleaner and fasten it around the neck where you think it looks good. Then we start to make a body which I usually is a square. You can try different body technique if you want to make somebody look really skinny or really fat. Don't be afraid to experiment. Then we have the basic body. Now we use the rest of the orange pipe cleaner just to fill in the area so that we have some stomach. Don't worry if it looks a little half empty we would take care of that later. So now that you have your head and body of your little Luke Skywalker let's get started on making the arms and legs. Now let's pick out another orange and we would start this for the arms. Now determine when you think it is just about half. The best way I use this is I hold up like this and scout it around a little bit until it looks the exact same size. Then I pinch around where I want the shoulders to be and I fold the arms back in and twist it like this. Now you have Luke Skywalker's arm. Then you do the same for the other side. Now you can not pilot the ship without any legs. So let's add another orange and start on the legs. So just fold it in half like this and measure it until both pipe cleaners are relatively the same size. You just fasten it like this and this is kind of hard you twist this little end here back around and up again. Then you just pull the legs like this fasten it like that on both sides. Then split this down a little bit to the correct size. Feel free to adjust it and make the legs a little shorter if you want with the scissors and know you have the basic body."
