BB-8 Droid Star Wars VII Papercraft

BB-8 or Beebee-Ate is a droid character in the Star Wars franchise, first appearing in the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Spherical with a free-moving domed head, BB-8 is portrayed by both a rod puppet and a remote-controlled robotic unit. (BB-8-Wikipedia)




Same as other spheres papercraft, BB-8 papercraft maybe difficult, especially for closing the last part. If you are new to papercrafting, you may try several times to have a better result. 
You can start and end at any part, as you want. I can't tell which way easier, but pdo file may help. Open it in pepakura viewer from tamasoftware.

Paper recommended 160-200gsm. If you resize the template, use thicker paper.

    If you are interested in enhancing it, I'ld recommend the rotateable head, like in this(or just search for "robives android" if you not into links):
