Yeah, that’s what we thought. Mynocks.

Ready to add more beastly things to your Halloween decorations? Hang a banner of mynocks on your mantel for some Star Wars-style scares! Mynocks were first seen hanging around the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. But don’t worry, these clingy creatures won’t chew your power cables.

Mynock

Let’s go grab a few materials and get ready to make some mynocks. Shoo, shoo!

What You’ll Need*

  • Printed mynock template
  • Olive green construction paper
  • Olive chenille stems
  • Googly eyes
  • Mini clothespins
  • Olive green paint
  • String, about five feet long
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Pencil

*The activities in this article should only be done with adult supervision.

Get Started!

Step 1: Print and cut out the mynock template.

Step 2: Trace the template on the olive green paper. Carefully cut out the mynock.

Step 3: Fold and unfold the wings at the points to give them some shape.

Step 4: Next, cut the chenille stem in half. Bend it into a circle the same size as the mynock’s head, trimming it to match the shape.

Step 5: Glue the chenille stem circle to the mynock’s head and let dry.

Step 6: Next, glue two googly eyes on either side of the mynock’s head and let dry.

Step 7: Repeat these steps for the number of mynocks and length of banner you’d like to make.

Step 8: If you are using mini clothespins to hang the mynocks, paint them a matching color to the construction paper you used. Let dry completely.

Step 9: Attach the mynocks to the string. You can use the mini clothespins, clear tape, or glue to attach each flying figure to the string. Put them in different poses to make them look like they’re taking flight.
