BB8 Easter Egg/Secret Safe



Hey guys! In this instructable, I'll be showing you how to build your very own BB8 (or should I say BB-EGG?). Now, let's begin!
Materials

For this project, you will need:
*A plastic easter egg
*A small plastic ball (see picture)
*Electrical tape
*Steel wire
*White acrylic paint
Tools:
*Pliers
*Hot glue gun
*Pocketknife
*Paintbrush

Cutting the Ball


Cut a round hole in the top of the plastic ball. It should be barely big enough to squeeze the long end of the plastic egg through.
Putting It Together



Put a liberal amount of hot glue into the plastic ball, and squeeze the egg inside, as shown. You should now have a form resembling bb8.
Note: make sure that the egg's "hinge" stays above the mouth of the ball. You'll want to be able to open it later.

Painting



Take your BB8 form and paint it completely white with the acrylic paint.
Detailing





You're so close! Now, take a small length of wire, and make an antenna like in the picture. Use sharpies to draw BB-8's features. And finally, enjoy! You can use your BB8 as a storage place, to keep pocket change, or as an easter egg in an egg hunt!
