DIY Sith Holocron (cardboard) – Star Wars Cheap Build

You won’t need any dark force abilities to make this DIY sith holocron.

DIY Sith Holocron (cardboard) - Star Wars Cheap Build

MATERIALS USED:
Holocron Template (can be downloaded free from my patterns vault)
Cardboard
Scissors or utility knife
Pencil
White school glue and Foam brush
Metallic gold paint
Glue (I used Power-tac)
Plastic sheet (I used old plastic packaging material)
Gold marking pen
Red finger light

This DIY sith holocron is super easy to create out of plain old cardboard. (And I made a template in my patterns vault if you don’t want to have to draw it freehand). The hardest part will be cutting out the 3 triangular shapes. Once you’ve got those cut, it’s a breeze to put together.

The plastic sheeting I used on my DIY sith holocron was just an old piece of plastic packaging. You find a lot of things packed in plastic these days (unfortunatelyโ€ฆ) from cookies to socks. So instead of just throwing it away, save that plastic packaging for your cosplays. Because recycled materials are not only more eco-friendly, but also FREE!

I took a little artistic liberty with the sith designs, as they were very complex, so I simplified them a bit when I was drawing them on. And if you want this to double as a sith wayfinder, you can swap out the red light for a green one.
