You Will Need:

A paper towel cardboard roll

Tissue Paper

Crayons or markers

Dragon patterns

Scissors

Glue

Cardboard

Paint (optional)

 

Step One - This dragon is easy and basic to make at your desk no online degree needed. Print out the dragon head and feet. Cut out and color. Reinforce with cardboard. Paint or color the cardboard to match your dragon. Let dry.

Step Two - Print out the dragon skin. Color. Trim the skin to fit around the cardboard roll. Glue on the skin.

Step Three - Print out the dragon tail. Color. Fit the tail onto the end of the cardboard roll. Trim if necessary. Glue. Let dry.

Step Four - Cut two pieces of tissue paper about 1 and 1/2 in wide and the length of your dragon plus a little extra to wrap around the tail. Cut the paper in a jagged fashion without cutting it apart. Glue onto the dragon's back and tail. For an example refer to the picture on the main Chinese New Year page.

Step Five - Glue the head to the front of the dragon. Glue on the feet to the sides of the dragon. Let glue dry. Enjoy!

Optional - You can glue extra pieces of jagged tissue paper around the head for more dimension.
