I have a few little boys in my life who love star wars….and I know about zilch about star wars….wait..I will tell you how much I know about star wars:
like, I know about princess leia from when rachel dressed up like her from friends tv series
and the millenium falcom from when duff made one on Ace of Cakes
and I know about the gold guy and R2D2 (or maybe that is the gold guy?) from the ride at disneyland. (oh i love disneyland!!!)
And I know about yoda…just because it’s yoda.
and I know that luke’s father has some voice issues..
and i’m out. I know. don’t tell anyone.
anyways..I wanted to make a star wars piece of art for an upcoming birthday….:
I have a bunch of canvas from my high school days and a few from the D.I. I mixed some navy blue and black and painted them…(that’s what I love about canvas and paint…make a mistake and paint right over it!)

This is fabulous; and my son would LOVE it. He's 10 and is into putting stuff on his walls lately; AND since I'm doing more "homemade" gifts for my kids than ever before, I just may have to copy this idea! You did a great job for not knowing anything about Star Wars 🙂

My 5 yr old son is SOOO into star wars. He would love these (so would my husband who has a life size Darth Vader cut out by his desk at work). I love that these are custom art that you could even have your kid help flick the stars on or glue the ships on. Thanks for sharing.

Great job. I tried to make one a couple of years ago but couldn't figure out the stars. Brilliant using paint splatters.

These came out awesome! I'm always looking for CHEAP, art for my kids rooms . . . love your play mats too btw!
Meghan says
I love Star Wars and so does my son. I am lucky because he likes the classic Star Wars rather than the Clone Wars or the 'new ones.' See, the ones that just came out (well, not JUST) are actually PREQUELS to the ones I grew up with (although I was only a toddler when they came out in 1977). So I really like IV, V, and VI even though they came out WAY before I, II and III. Lost yet?
The point is that I was thinking of painting murals on my son's walls but now I think I can use your ideas and go for a more classic, Pottery Barn style Star Wars. (Pottery Barn does sell Star Wars things.)
So, the force IS with you! And I am glad! lol
Kristy says
This is so awesome! I have to do this! (at this very moment I hear my 6 yo making the pew-pew sound of his gun and humming do-do-do-dum-de-dooooo) lol! Can we say obsessed!!! 😀 Thanks for sharing and inspiring…you make me say "Yea, I can do that!"
Stephanie says
This is such a cool idea! While my boys are out growing star wars- this could work on so many other themes.
Stephanie says
Love it, love it, love it!!!
Angie says
I know I'm really late to the conversation but this is so awesome that I want to try to make one for my grandson!! How did you get your images bigger than the 1 inch picture that is shown in the link?? I tried making them larger in word, but then they are severely distorted…HELP!! =)

I made this for a friend of my son's 12th birthday. Instead of using white paint I used glow in the dark paint and splattered it around.I also used some real pictures from outerspace with the spaceship pitures. Then I painted over them with glow paint. It looks awesome day or night. Thanks for the idea- He loved it!
Adiarra says
What a fanTAStic tutorial!! I am SO doing this. I do have a question tho. What technique did you use for the splattering? It's the only part that feels slightly intimidating lol. Thanks!! And seriously awesome proect!!
Jawsgirl says
Very cool idea! I might have to try a different theme, my kids aren’t that into Star Wars. What a great technique. You’ve inspired me, maybe an underwater theme….Thank for sharing!
