Craft Time: R2-D2 Papercraft

R2-D2 Papercraft PDF

Time: 20 Minutes

What You’ll Need

• Regular paper or cardstock
• Scissors
• Glue or double-sided tape

How To Make It

1. Print the template on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces. Make all folds along the dashed lines.
2. Using glue or double-sided tape, secure the tabs on the dome top to the inner circle of the main dome. Close the dome with the #1 tab.
3. Secure all #2 tabs at the top of R2-D2’s body to their corresponding pieces.
4. Begin attaching the dome to the top of R2-D2’s body by securing the #3 tabs. Start with the tab closest to R2-D2’s dome projector, and attach it to the panel adjacent to the #4 tab at the top of R2-D2’s body. Continue attaching the dome by following the contour of the body.
5. Close the top of R2-D2’s body with the #4 tab. Continue to close the body with the #5 tab, followed by all #6 tabs. Cap the bottom of R2-D2 with the bottom piece by attaching it to the remaining tabs.
6. Secure tabs numbered 7-12 to their corresponding pieces on the inside of the right leg. Begin attaching the outside of the leg to the inside of the leg by securing tabs in numerical order, starting with the #13 tabs around the shoulder. Repeat this step with the left leg.
7. Close the center leg by securing tabs in numerical order, starting with the #20 tabs.
8. When the center leg is complete, attach it to the bottom of R2-D2. If done correctly, R2-D2 should lean slightly backwards when standing.
9. Secure the left and right legs by aligning the letter at the inside of each leg with the letters on R2-D2’s body. R2-D2 should now stand on his own.
10. If you want extra detail, you can add the three optical holographic projectors provided. These should be placed on each of three matching markers, one of which is at the top of the dome. To assemble (Fig. 1), fold the piece in half along the dashed line between the gray and black panels, then secure the two panels with glue or double-sided tape. Wrap the piece around the black circle, and secure with the end tab. Attach the tab on the circle to the inner wall of the projector. The black circle should be used to attach each projector to R2-D2 where indicated.

Notes

Cutting should be done by an adult.

Star Wars Celebration 2015: The Force Awakens Exhibit

One of the busiest exhibits at Star Wars Celebration 2015 was The Force Awakens Exhibit! Every day the queue to get in was at least an hour long if not longer. We waited to give you a look at what was inside!

Here is your first look at the new X-Wing. The most interesting thing is that it is called a Resistance X-Wing. What does this mean and how will this play out in the new trilogy? We shall have to wait and see!

If you blow up any of these X-Wing pictures you will notice that the droid unit is BB8! And look at the other model ship in the background there!

Here is another familiar ship, the Millennium Falcon!

Here is the first look at the flame thrower Stormtrooper! This is also where we learn that they are no longer referred to as Imperial Stormtroopers but as First Order Stormtroopers. This will also be interested to discover what has led to the name change.

I cannot wait to see this guy in action!

Here is our first look at the snowtrooper!

I wonder what planet has snow? Will it be Hoth or a new planet?

What Star Wars story would not be complete without a villain? Take a closer look at Kylo Ren!

Here is the full costume!

A closer look at Kylo Ren's now famous tri-saber!

A closer look at Daisy Ridley's character Rey!

Here is Rey's full costume!

A look at some of the new stormtroppers, BB8 and a few other characters or citizens.

Those spiked balls remind me of grenades!

Definitely know that there must be a lot of sandstorms on the planet.

I love the look of the stormtroopers!

Last but not least here is the full costume for John Boyega's character Finn!

Missing from the actual costume but clearly shown in this concept art is a lightsaber! Is Finn a Jedi or did he steal this?

So many questions are brought up because of this exhibit but it was so cool to get a closer look at the costumes that we will see when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters in December!

Giveaway: R2D2 Measuring Cup Set

Win this awesome R2D2 measuring cup set! Perfect for making Wookie Cookies! They're chewy! HAHA!
