Darth Vader Paper Roll with Printable
May the Force be with this Darth Vader Paper roll craft. We made this fun Star Wars craft earlier this year for Star Wars day (May the 4th Be With You) and I forgot to share.
This is part of a Star Wars paper roll set we’ve been creating and it was good for all school-aged children. If you have younger fans who want to make their own, you can cut out the pieces for them.

Tips to Make Star Wars Toilet Paper Rolls
- For any character, add a lightsaber! Use a cake pop stick or wooden chopstick and a set of markers to make any color.
- Use the helmet shape to create a few stormtroopers with some white construction paper and a black marker.
- Create a scene using a cardboard box to keep the imaginative play going. Want a Tatooine world scape? A couple of suns or a few moons and you’re done.
- You can make a scene for the inside of the Death Star with a bit of gray construction paper or paint covering the inside of a box, too. Poke holes and add in some Christmas lights for a really fancy upgrade.
- UPDATE: I am getting a lot of questions about Luke like, “Why is there no Luke Skywalker paper roll character?” Friends, use Han Solo’s printable, change the color of the clothes to some neutrals, and his hair to blonde. Bam: instant Skywalker!
