If you’ve got piles of LEGOs in the house, individual models on every Christmas list and multiple bins designated to store extra bricks, you’re living with a hardcore LEGO fanatic. The LEGO Master Builder Academy series takes that passion, and teaches fans to be the best builders they can be!
Guaranteeing supreme festive superiority for any tree it hangs on, this glowing Death Star ornament is actually a fun DIY project you can use to keep any kids—or restless adults—entertained leading up to the holidays. And the project lets you blur the line between being the Emperor and Martha Stewart—a line that may not actually exist.

It all started when David Prouty’s daughter challenged him to make something out of recycled boxes for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary. Not one to pass on a challenge, David set out to create something unique. Something awesome. A TARDIS jukebox.
This is a 1/3 scale TARDIS that literally rocks. It has disco lights, sound activated LED’s, a smoke machine and an internal Bluetooth speaker. It is powered by a wireless remote and he can even connect his iPod or iPhone to it and he has an instant jukebox.
It was made out of old U-Haul, FedEx, and pizza boxes. Hell, the old Doctor Who series could have used David’s construction skills. This guy knows how to make something on a budget and make it look amazing.
It sure looks great for something made of pizza boxes. Great work, David.

This might just be Instructables most open ended contest to date, but if
you’re tinkering with something brilliant, and you can share how others
can make their own version of it, you could win a huge supply of high
end tools from Hand-Eye Supply for sharing!
Do something different with your Christmas tree this year and build a light-up Death Star ornament. Nashville-based craftycounterpart will show you how with a step-by-step Instructables article.
You will use supplies like clear acrylic balls, LED tealights, clay, spray paint, painters tape, and of course the blood and sweat of countless clones. When you are finished, this space station will be the ultimate power in your Christmas tree universe. Just be on the lookout for those pesky X-Wing fighter ornaments.
The end result looks really super nice and it will be the focal point of your geek decorated tree. The LED light really makes it look like a working station. I would suggest a small diorama nearby that is basically space debris, for what was formally Alderaan.
