Step 8: Slowly add in the dry ingredients just until the dough comes together. Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until you are ready to use.
Step 9: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 11: Roll out the green dough to about 1/4-inch thick and cut out a small piece in the shape of Boba Fett’s helmet. Place onto the sweater.

Step 15: Use the icing to pipe details on the sweater. Add sprinkles. Use the black and red icings to pipe Boba Fett helmet details.
