- Paint the underside of the puppet in yellow adding a dark pink border, and paint the other side completely dark pink. Paint the inside of the mouth light pink with a bronze border and leave to dry.
- Add a row of sharp teeth made from a strip of white self-adhesive felt cut in a zigzag pattern. Edge the inside of the mouth with a 1cm wide strip of orange self-adhesive felt cut with patterned scissors. (pic a)
- Cut flame shapes into a 6cm wide strip of red felt and fix this around the opening of the puppet with a 3cm wide strip of orange sticky felt cut with decorative edged scissors. (pic b)
- Fix two large wiggle-eyes to the top of the head and decorate with felt eyelashes. For the nostrils, cut two pieces of red felt – 4cm by 6cm – then fold in half and roll up like a swiss roll. Hold in place with double sided tape and stick to the face with a nose-shaped piece of self-adhesive felt. (pic c)
- Cut lots of really thin, tapered strips of red felt. Cut small circles of self-adhesive felt and fix three or four thin strips to the back. Stick these to the top and sides of the face to make long whiskers. (pic d)
- Glue bright pink or red sequins to the back of the dragon with PVA to form a scaly pattern. Add more decorative dots of felt to fill in any spaces.
