My Son and I Built Star Wars Droids With Everyday Items — Here's How You Can Do It!

We constructed the R2 droid's body out of old soap bottles. In the video, Abiva pointed out that he chose soap bottles because he knows we are all washing our hands a lot right now and probably have some soap bottles lying around.

To build the body, we used a utility knife to cut the soap bottle into three pieces (the middle section was discarded). My son is only seven so I handled this step. We wrapped a strip of paper around the bottom section of the body and squeezed the top section inside and the body was complete.
