Instructions

  • Download the free printable R2D2 template, print out the pieces and cut them out.
  • Begin building R2D2 by starting with his head. Glue the top blue part to the edge of his head. Next, place the rounded rectangle piece just below the first piece you glued on. Place the black circle in the middle of this piece and glue in place.
  • Use scissors and a standard hole punch to cut out two small white circles and glue these to the black circle for his "eye". Glue the small, blue rectangle and red circle just below this section. Glue the two other blue pieces halfway off the main gray piece and use scissors to trim off the excess.
  • Take the completed top piece and glue it to the top part of the white droid base. Take the two blue, long rectangles and glue them just below the gray head. Next, take the large, blue rectangle and glue below the previous pieces.
  • Use scissors or a circle punch to cut out two medium-sized circles from the light blue paper and glue them in the middle of the large blue rectangle. Take the gray-outlined, white rectangle and glue them on either side of the droid base.
  • Begin to assemble R2D2's legs by gluing the blue, round piece to the top, outside of the droid leg. Glue the blue trapezoid and glue it on the leg where the begins to flare out. Repeat on the other leg.
  • Glue the completed legs to the back of the droid base, as in the pictures.
