use paper to make the horns. attach to the back of the head. cut holes for the eyes slightly smaller than the marble. before you put it in, paint small dragon eyes at the back. glue in to the head. add teeth like #10, and add padding according to #9.

Paper Mache, Fabric, and Paint

paper mache it and use tape for where the mache didn't stick. paint over it, either sew or hot glue the fabric as the neck, and you're done!
