Lastmaking for Beginners (Shoemaking)
A quick overview of how to make a quick last for basic shoemaking. I'll demonstrate a way to make a mold for plaster, some basics of measuring, and an overview of how to make a reusable last from wood.

Vintage Inspired Papier-Mâché
Vintage craft blogger Cathy Callahan/Cathy of California will demonstrate a technique using recycled cardboard and newspaper to create papier-mâché jewelery. Cathy has found inspiration for her own work from 1960s papier-mâché pieces by artists such as Enid Collins and Gemma Taccogna.

Buttoning It Up! Make Button Hairclips
Make a quick, fun button-embellishment project: a pretty set of button hair clips to enjoy. You can mix colors and layer sizes and styles, along with sparkly rhinestones, for a super-personal finished piece.

Star Wars Puppet Craft
Bonnie Burton
For the Craft Area of Maker Faire:
My craft tutorial this year will be making Star Wars Sock Puppets! I will show craftsters how to transform boring socks into tauntauns, Yoda and other Star Wars characters. I'll also have other materials available for people to make finger puppets!
Plus I'll also have the R2-D2 Builders come for a visit during the tutorial to allow for photo ops with kids and other craftsters.
This will be the third year I'd be doing a Star Wars Craft tutorial for Maker Faire. The first year I did a Make a Yoda Doll tutorial and last year was a Make Star Wars Marble Magnets tutorial.
I'm the Senior Editor of Starwars.com where I create original geeky crafts for kids. I also wrote "You Can Draw: Star Wars" and am currently writing the "Star Wars Crafts Book" for Random House. You can see my previous Star Wars Crafts on Starwars.com here: http://www.starwars.com/archives/index.html?k=t_e4372471-3010-497c-8beb-d3f3969eabe2
I also moderate the Star Wars Crafts Livejournal Community here: http://community.livejournal.com/starwarscrafts/
