  1. Print out the template and cut out the pieces. Paint the cardboard tube white and allow to dry. Then, paint it red. Allow to dry.
  2. Use Super Tacky Glue to stick 4 red craft sticks to the sides of the tube, evenly spaced. Leave 1-2 cm's of the sticks above the tube. Allow to dry. Use a black deco pen to colour the bottom 1cm of the tube, then stick the dragon teeth on with glue. Stick the dragon’s eyes on with glue and then use a black deco pen to draw the dragon’s pupils and nostrils.
  3. Paint the dragon’s eyebrows and nose details with green paint and allow to dry to finish your French knitter.
