Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in fuse beads

The Star Wars saga never ceases to inspire our fuse-bead creators. It has to be said: the universe is rich and incredibly inspiring. Whether you side with the Jedi or the troopers, everyone agrees that Hama beads are ideal for reimagining the characters in George Lucas’s fantastical universe.

Let’s get straight to the point with the Fulldesign blog, which offers a set of portraits initially intended for embroiderers but that will work beautifully for fuse beads.

The dark side of the Force

It’s impossible not to mention the baddest villain in the Star Wars story: Darth Vader.

The next pattern really amused us. How can Darth Vader be credible again once you’ve slipped a good old cookie into his hand? Source: Storenvy

Bow to this Stormtrooper helmet: it’s one of the most cleverly devised patterns to represent these soldiers on a mission, and we found it at Stickaz.

This Darth Maul is scarier than life. A pattern unearthed on the CSuperle site.

On the Jedi side

Humble you will be if you decide to create Master Yoda. Source: Kandipattern

On Ahooka, you’ll find a great many patterns. A real gold mine—thanks to her for this long-haul work. We picked lots of the “good guys” for you 🙂

We can’t resist showing you this tiny model! Source: loomcenterblog

Isn’t this Ewok pattern just terribly adorable?

Let’s not forget to add Chewbacca to this selection.

We particularly like the originality of this pattern depicting Obi-Wan.

Han Solo leaps into action in the world of Hama beads.

Hello Kitty dons the attire of the saga’s heroes

Still in the spirit of the Stormtroopers, we had a soft spot for this Hello Kitty as Darth Vader—more frightening than ever. She never ceases to amaze us.

Another variation on this adorable little cat: you’ll no doubt appreciate her transformation into a Jedi. May the Force be with her! Source: etsy Shicreateco.

Another variant: Hello Kitty as little Yoda…

One last one in BB-8 mode (it took nerve, but it’s great, isn’t it?)

Lightsabers are in the mix too

At Zozothing the power of the lightsaber has been deployed with a magnificent frame on which a fine team of Jedi will no doubt appear.

Princesses in Hama beads

From the Rebel Alliance and Jedi at heart, we all love Princess Leia. Here’s the proof thanks to the pattern offered by Tatie Grenouille.

Princess Amidala is not to be outdone either. Isn’t this pattern just magnificent? Source: Tatie Grenouille

Generations of robots in Hama beads

BB-8

A small stroke of genius from this mom blogger who offers an intergalactic DIY. Listening to music accompanied by BB-8 is absolutely compatible! Source: Everything i do is for the boys

C-3PO

We also really like this coaster featuring C-3PO. Source: Etsy

Another very expressive version that makes it all the more interesting (from Ahooka once again).

R2-D2

In the same vein, this R2-D2 coaster will complete the set.
