Tutorial:
1.
Make dragon body
Begin by cutting about eight mini cupcake liners in half.
This is the start of your dragon body.
Continue gluing and layering the cupcake liners halves down your page to form your dragon body.
Make dragon head
Now make your dragon head.
Youll need two cupcake liners.
Cut one of them in half (discard the other half) and fold the other liner in half.
Cut the sides off of both of these pieces (see picture below).
Connect head to the body
Glue your dragon head onto the front of your dragon body.
Cut horns from your gold cardstock and glue them onto your dragon.
Cut out white teeth and glue them on the inside of the dragon mouth.
Crinkle the ends of the tissue a little to look like fire coming out of the dragons mouth.
Add a bit of glue on top of the tissue paper and glue the dragons mouth shut.
