How can you make a dragon with the news paper
| 
|
|
Make a base out of cardboard box card.
Scrunch some newspaper into a rugby ball shape and tape it onto the
base.
This forms the body of your dragon - you can create whatever shapes you
like from here!
|
| 
|
|
To make the neck, cut out some card in a banana shape.
|
| 
|
|
Pad it out on both sides with newspaper, secured in place with sticky
tape.
Lie it on one end of your dragon's body.
|
| 
|
|
For the tail, scrunch up some more newspaper into a tube shape and make
it pointy at one end.
Use lots of tape here too.
|
| 
|
|
For back legs, create some chicken drumstick shapes with plenty of tape
on top.
|
| 
|
|
Roll up four tiny paper sausages and tape them together for back claws.
|
| 
|
|
As you're making these body parts, lay them out around your body base -
roughly in the position that they'll go.
|
| 
|
|
For the front legs and feet roll two more sausages of newspaper and
carefully snip into the end to create four claws that splay out.
|
| 
|
|
For the head, close a double sheet of newspaper.
Loosely roll it up. Fold it in half and scrunch the ends up. Tape it at
this end.
|
| 
|
|
Fold it in half again, and pop your finger through to create a loop, so
that you have a mouth and nostrils!
|
| 
|
|
Put together the whole body and tape it to the board with lots of strong
tape.
|
| 
|
|
Now you've created your dragon shape you're ready to jazz it up with as
much extra detail as you like using card and newspaper.
|
| 
|
|
Here you can see that Neil has added cardboard ears and newspaper
eyes...
|
| 
|
|
...jagged teeth and a forked tongue...
|
| 
|
|
...some scales and wings with veins made from string...
|
| 
|
|
...and even a pointy tail!
Put plenty of tape all over the dragon to make it strong.
|
| 
|
|
When you're happy with the final look, use PVA glue mixed with a bit of
black paint and slap it all over the dragon to strengthen it even more.
|
| 
|
|
When it's dry you're ready to paint on the detail!
|
| 
|
|
Start with a thick, dry paintbrush.
Dip it into some other colours, and dust them on over the black.
|
| 
|
|
You could use shimmering bronze to give the wings a shiny finish.
|
| 
|
|
Paint on all the details.
|
| 
|
|
And when dry you have your own pet dragon!
Try it yourself!
