May the 4th is just a day away and we are gearing up with this fun Star Wars BB-8 Papercraft project.
BB-8 Papercraft
My kids and my husband are huge fans of Star Wars. There are many days that I find them watching a Star Wars movie with each other and playing with their Toilet Paper Roll R2D2 Craft or Star Wars Papercraft Puppets. So the other day I thought it would be fun to do another Star Wars Craft project with the kids! It was a huge hit!
The kids loved making these BB-8 Paper crafts together and the template makes it the perfect craft project for kids of all ages!

How to make Star Wars BB-8 Papercraft
Before you begin be sure you download and print the templates to make your craft project go smoothly.
- Grab white, orange, and grey colored paper for the BB-8 papercraft puppet. Trace the body and head patterns on white paper and trace the rest of the patterns on papers noted on the template.
- Stick the antennas on the top side (outwards) of the head cutout and the curvy strip near the top end of the head. Stick the orange round and half round cutouts on the body cutout.
- Stick the 2 grey strips of paper in the middle of the orange round pattern and stick the orange strips on the head cutout according to the design of the BB-8.
- Stick the head on the top side of the body pattern, by slightly overlapping each other.
- Use a black sharpie or gel pen to draw the other details of the BB-8 design.
- Stick the papercraft BB-8 on a popsicle stick to complete the puppet craft.

How Do I Print A PDF?
You’ll need a program that supports PDFs. Adobe Acrobat is a great option. Open the program, click file then print. Select your printer and the number of copies you want to print. Be sure you click double-sided if you want it to print on both sides.
Can I Resell These?
You may not resell any printable or template that you find on our website or received in your email. You may use them for class parties, at church, at home, or in the classroom. You may get these printed at an office supply store or copy center at your own expense.
