Motley Kids Non-Consumable Supplies

Steps to Make It

  1. Cut (if not already done) flames from felt for dragon breath. These should have a fairly narrow base
  2. Hot glue your flames to the INSIDE side of your dragon’s head, pointing down over the point of the heart. 
  3. Turn the head over and decorate it with googly eyes, sequins, markers, etc
  4. Roll the head into a cone, leaving a little gap around the flames if needed, and use a craft line or hot glue to hold it shut
  5. Cut out and attach ears with glue or craft dots if desired

Notes for Setup/Teardown

  • Uses glue guns so need power
  • Pre-cut dragon heads and flames for maximum streamlining
