Senior Research Project Ideas

Use these ideas as springboards for one-off projects, or incorporate them into a Tolkien unit study. Peter Jackson's film versions of The Lord of the Rings are richly visual and have a large and creative fanbase, which gives homeschoolers plenty of online resources and tutorials for creating LOTR-based crafts. Where details of costumes or props need to be examined, the Visual Companions to LOTR are an excellent resource.

As no patterns exist which entirely reproduce specific costumes, making a LOTR outfit requires a lot of research, cobbling together various pattern parts, examining screenshots and utilising a lot of helpful online advice. Some enthusiasts even dye fabrics to the correct shade.
