Instructions for Origami R2D2! Plus a contest! Happy Life Day! #starwars #origami

10 at 5:41 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

Here’s an early life day present for you…. Kellen and Tommy have worked up instructions for Dwight’s Origami R2D2!

(No C3P0 instructions yet…)

The first person to email me a picture of their own Origami R2D2 will win a prize!

The instructions are three pages long. Remember that this is a gift. You wouldn’t complain about a gift would you? So remember, Tommy, Kellen, Dwight and even Tom Angleberger and not professional Origami Instruction Makers. If you get stuck … experiment a little. Maybe you’ll come up with a better way than Dwight did!

Click on the thumbnails to see each page full-size…

Don’t forget to vote for Origami Yoda over at readkiddoread.com for a Kiddo award!

r2-d2 is so coooooooooooool.

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 11:09 pm

Thanks Cesar!

AustinM wrote @ 11 at 2:45 am

Tom when will you post instructions for origami C3PO?

Javier wrote @ 11 at 11:31 pm

Thank you Tom! I made an awesome R2D2! The weird thing is when I drop it from a distance, It glides to the ground!

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 1:15 am

Wow! He flies just like in Episode 2!

Alec wrote @ 11 at 9:29 pm

That would be because it is related to the flat nosed glider.

hannah wrote @ 12 at 12:49 am

what does that mean

Alec wrote @ 11 at 3:32 am

Thats because its related to the flat-nosed glider, though, R2D2 is harder to make

Alec wrote @ 11 at 9:30 pm

whoops! i didnt see my other comment, so i said it again, sorry, guys.

josh benson wrote @ 11 at 8:15 pm

hey tom can i get a vid on youtube please he is very complex

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 12:11 am

I may get a vid up, but it will be a while. I am working pretty hard on writing/drawing right now.

josh benson wrote @ 11 at 8:15 pm

i meant on r2d2

connor simon wrote @ 11 at 10:06 pm

are you going to make instucions for origami c-3p0

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 2:01 am

Probably not. Like I’ve said before, it’s not a very proper origami model … it’s got lots of ugly folds. Hard to make instructions for that…

connor simon wrote @ 11 at 3:55 am

oh ok and well i made my own c-3po

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 3:25 pm

I definitely need to see that!

Javier wrote @ 11 at 8:30 pm

I think Ill be able to handle the “ugly” folds. Could you make a video of how to fold C-3po and put it on Youtube?

Michael wrote @ 11 at 12:59 pm

it is so awesome. it looks really nice.

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 12:59 am

Thanks. Michael!

brandy rast wrote @ 11 at 3:28 am

Andrew Burnside, age 11 wrote @ 12 at 10:28 pm

Um, this has nothing to do with Darth Paper. This is all about R2-D2, so post this on a page ABOUT Darth Paper.

COLIN wrote @ 12 at 11:43 am

Superfolder Sam wrote @ 12 at 11:09 pm

I think MY oragami yoda is real because in gym class the teacher said there has only been one injury on the rock climbing wall, and Yoda said, “Hurt, someone get will.” He was right, just not in the way I expected. When we were playing basketball, the same class, by the way, some girl was crying because my friend had accidentally hit her in the face with a basketball.
