Draw a wing on the back of a paper plate using a pencil. Cut out with the scissors.
Use the first wing to trace a second wing on the inside of the second paper plate. Cut out with the scissors.
If desired, you can trim the edges of the plates to be scalloped and look more like wings. Glue them together and let dry.
Cut the center of the body out using another paper plate. You'll want two oval shaped pieces of relatively the same size. Glue them together, sandwiching the wings in between.
Draw the head and tail pieces on a paper plate. Cut out, then trace them to cut out one more of each shape.
Glue both head pieces together, and both tail pieces together. Let dry.
Paint all dragon pieces with the color(s) of your choice. Let dry. Glue googly eyes onto either side of the head, and add any accent lines with a Sharpie or felt tip pen. Let dry.
Use the hole punch to add a hole to the front of the body and the bottom of the head. Add a paper brad to attach.
Use the hole punch to add a hole to the back of the body and the base of the tail. Add a paper brad to attach.
If desired, add Mod Podge Sparkle or glitter paint to the ends of the tail and the top of the head. Let dry before using.
