The hat was made from a party bowl that I sprayed silver. I glued it to a bike helmet to keep it secure. There are several spots that light up too... I used small lights designed to used inside pumpkins or on bikes to make the light up features. My fave local nerdy-goods store American Science and Surplus supplied us with a lot of the "parts"; bike reflectors, odd-ball wires and strange grills from who knows what!
The body was shaped from an Ikea hamper covered with white duct tape. I just cut a hole in the bottom of the hamper and flipped it over! All the blue is also duct tape... I used 3 rolls in all!

He loved his R2D2ness so much he just had to do the Robot...
