Paper cup dragon craft

What you’ll need:

  • paper cups
  • two small pom poms
  • two medium pom poms
  • two googly eyes
  • crepe paper
  • string
  • glue
  • scissors

What you’ll do:

  1. Glue the googly eyes onto the medium size pom poms. Glue the pom poms toward the rim of one cup to make the dragon’s eyes.
  2. Glue the two small pom poms close together near the base of the cup to form the dragon’s nostrils.
  3. Cut a long piece of ribbon and glue it to the inside of the cup. Let the glue dry completely.
  4. Cut a small slit in the bottom of four more cups.
  5. Alternate the direction of the cups, and feed the ribbon through the slits. Tie a knot at the end of the ribbon.
  6. Cut several 6-inch pieces of crepe paper and glue them to the cups to make the dragon’s legs.
