Artist Don Nguyen created a set of miniature felt Star Wars characters that are available for sale.
These adorable mini felt creations capture the joy and spirit of the iconic film series—no I am not counting the prequels—and puts it right in the palm of your hands. Don Nguyen does an amazing job recreating the likeness of iconic Star Wars characters like: Yoda, an AT-AT Walker, a Bantha and Admiral Ackbar. They are all made by hand and according to the creator from materials including wool, felt and the force.
Felt has the unique ability to make anything cute. I can only imagine then what Darth Vader or the Emperor might look like if given the felt Star Wars treatment.
