  1. these are great! can you tell me if you wrapped the fondant around something like a lollipop stick? or just rolled solid fondant?

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    1. Hi Angela.
      I used an extruder (which can be found in the clay tools section at a craft store, I think mine is from Lee Valley or you can get fondant extruder but they much more expensive)It's just like a playdough toy that pushes the fondant out into nice neat tubes. I cut them to length and let glued the saber to the handle then let them dry. I finished them off by painting the handles with silver lustre.
