How to build a MYSTIC from THE DARK CRYSTAL

Step 8 Adding Arms

The arms were made from some childrens hockey sticks that had convenient holes in them that would fit the keyrings so they would swivel, for some bulk I then slit some foam pool noodles lengthwise and taped them onto the sticks. I broke one of the holes in the process, so i reinforced them by wrapping some tin around the head of the stick hammering it tight and cutting a slot through it. This made them much stonger.

I originally used round eye bolts for the connection, but they swivelled and fell out of the plastic so I got some heavy duty U-shaped bolts that stayed much better and never moved. I put a keyring through the head of the reinforced hockey stick and then connected it to the U-bolt on each of the four arms
