Supplies You’ll Need

Brown yarn
Googly eyes
Black construction paper
White gel pen or marker
Paper cup (or small plastic cup/cardboard tube)
Glue stick or craft glue
Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Yarn
Cut the brown yarn into small strips. This will make it easier to attach to the cup and create a fluffy Chewbacca texture.

Step 2: Attach the Yarn
Start gluing the yarn strips around the paper cup. Cover about half of the cup first, then add the googly eyes, and continue covering the rest of the cup. Overlap the yarn slightly for a fuller fur effect.

Step 3: Make Chewbacca’s Bandolier
Cut a strip of black construction paper. Use a white gel pen to draw small squares along the strip. Attach the bandolier diagonally across your Chewbacca cup.

Step 4: Final Touches
Ensure all pieces are securely glued. Let your craft dry for a few minutes before displaying or playing with it.

Tips for Success

Yarn Choice Matters: A slightly rough-textured yarn gives Chewbacca a more authentic look.
Prep Yarn Ahead: Pre-cut strips save time during assembly.
Layer for Fur: Slightly overlapping strips of yarn makes a fluffy, realistic effect.
Secure Eyes: Use extra glue if needed to keep googly eyes in place.
Dry Time: Let the craft sit for a few minutes to ensure everything sticks.

Yes! Regular brown yarn can work well, too. Just cut the strands short and layer them for a fluffier Chewbacca look.

Substitute it with a small plastic cup or even a cardboard tube for a similar effect.

Yes! Younger children may need help cutting the yarn and handling the glue.

Absolutely! These adorable Chewbacca cups make perfect party decorations or take-home gifts for Star Wars-themed parties.
