2. Trace the head pattern on green paper, the inner ears on pink paper, and the robe on brown paper. You can use the eye patterns you cut out from the previous step directly.

Cut out all the traced patterns.

5. Use your paper plate as a guide and trace the inner circle of the paper plate on a piece of grey paper. If you are having trouble fitting a pencil beneath the paper plate to trace the inner circle, then you can cut the inner circle out from another paper plate and use that as a stencil to trace on grey paper.

Cut out the circle from the grey construction paper and glue it in the inner circle of the paper plate.

** Note: I considered creating a template for the hover pod, but paper plate dimensions vary. What works for my paper plate may not work for yours. Using your own paper plate as a template will avoid confusion.

6. Using your paper plate again, trace the outer perimeter of the paper plate on black paper. Cut out the circle and fold it in half. Using the creased line as a guide, cut the circle in half.

Draw a smaller half-circle on grey paper. The exact diameter of the smaller half-circle doesn’t matter as long as it’s small enough to form a thick border when glued on top of the black half-circle. Cut out the grey half-circle.

Glue the smaller half-circle on top of the bigger half-circle.

Use a black marker or Sharpie and draw the 3 buttons along the straight side of the half-circle and a straight line underneath them.

7. Apply glue to the bottom half of the paper plate, along the border only. Place the half-circle patterns on top of the paper plate and press along the border to secure.

8. Insert the Baby Yoda inside the paper plate Hover Pod through the open end. If you would like Baby Yoda to stay in place, then glue the paper Baby Yoda to the paper plate.
