Have you ever wanted to have a pet dragon? I know I have. Now, with this, you can! This dragon pet can be attached to any article of clothing, and will stay attached through almost anything! This is also a cheap option, Little to none of the materials will need to be bought. This fantasy creature can be any color you want, and can work for any fantasy character. (As long as there is clothing to hold on to)

Supplies

This creation take very few materials. All you would need is cardboard, duct tape (colored as the color you want your dragon) and 4 hook tack's shown in the images.

I'll Form the Head!

Here is where you start off your scaly friend. For the head, you can take a piece of cardboard, probably no more than a foot long, and bend it in kind of a wedge. Make sure its relatively thin, and cut out sides to the head. Tape the sides to the head, and then cover the entire head in your duct tape. Cut a slightly curved piece of cardboard, no more that 6 inches long. (the sizes are not exact because you can decide your dragons size) Trace the cardboard again and after cutting, tape them together. Cover them in your tape. After you have done this, roll a piece of tape, and cut out two small circles. Color them the color you want your dragons eyes to be, and place it on the rolled tape. After this, cover any exposed sticky side of the tape with tape, to not have things stuck on the dragon. Next, make small horns and attach then to your dragon. (The title is a reference to Voltron)

Body and Tail

Your dragon is currently a head. You need to make its body. To do this, you take a large piece of cardboard and roll it. It should be a cylinder. Next you tape it together, and cover it in tape. Connect it to the neck. After this, cut a long curved piece that will serve as its tail. Cover this in tape and attach it to the back of the body.

Gotta Go Fast!

Next, you need your legs and wings. The wings are basically short rectangles covered in duct tape and attached to the top of the body. The feet, like the wings, are just short rectangles covered in duct tape and attached to the bottom of the body. The hook pins will be pushed through the feet, and the pointed end should be taped to not hurt the wearer. (The title was a sonic reference)

Thats All!
