Our first Weekend 10 installment is all about everyone’s favorite Star Wars droid, R2-D2.
1. R2-D2 Cake
Flickr user sugarlipscakes made this R2-D2 cake for Dave’s 30th birthday. Dave’s a lucky man.
2. R2-D2 PC Case Mod
The Contaminated posted this incredible R2-D2 case modification. Unfortunately, there’s no instructions or further information. Not that any of us mere mortals could duplicate this amazing feat of engineering anyway.
3. R2-D2 Beanie
Carissa Knit’s posted this R2-D2 beanie and even included the pattern so you can make your own.
4. R2-D2 Mailbox Papercraft

5. R2-D2 Pinhole Camera

6. R2-D2 Finger Puppet

7. R2-D2 Christmas Ornament
Craftster user artoo1121 (also of the Lord of the Rings amigurumi) painted a round Christmas ornament to look like R2-D2. Any Star Wars fan would be proud to have it on his/her Christmas tree.
8. R2-D2 Toddler Costume
Craftster user mplsdeanna sewed her little guy an R2-D2 costume from polar fleece. What a cutie!

Oh my. Now, if we had that, I wouldn’t mind our computer taking up the footprint in our small living room.
This is great! Please tell me how you made this costume. My son wants to film a Star Wars movie (and his sister gets the part of R2D2)
Yes, please share those costume instructions!!! My 6 year old is a huge fan and wants to be R2D2 for Halloween and this is the best costume I have seen. I hate to buy the generic store version when we could make something together and so much better!
