Holy Han, is this set of homemade Star Wars bowling pins adorable or what? I know that if I assembled my largely comprised of geeks group of friends together for a game night, this would be a gigantic hit. In fact, I know just which pins certain people would argue about over going home with.
It looks super simple to make, and if you don’t usually buy the Gerber snack containers featured here, you can certainly use anything else, from 20-ounce coke bottles (you’ll have to tape on paper drawings, however, since they probably won’t show up well on the clear containers), to tall plastic cups to anything else you’ve got lying around.
All of that said, if you want to try out the Gerber snacks, they’re actually quite good, and low in calories! I like to snack on the sweet potato flavored ones, myself.
And why stop at bowling pins? You could make all kinds of homemade games this way—from your own town’s version of Monopoloy (we have a St. Louis in a Box, actually, which is not homemade) to replacing the bear on your “Don’t Break the Ice” game with a little Yoda (just glue him on—but make sure he’s not too heavy first).
