Easy DIY Crafts: Fire Breathing Dragon

This fire breathing dragon made from a toilet paper roll is an easy kids craft that uses simple craft supplies. It is easy to make and fun to play with. When you blow into the end of the tube the tissue paper looks like flames coming out of the dragon’s mouth. Below are the steps courtesy of onelittleproject.com.

Materials required are Scissors, Glue Stick, Glue Gun, Paper roll, Construction Paper, 2 Medium Pom Poms, 2 Small Pom Poms, 2 Medium Googly Eyes, Red, Yellow, and Orange Tissue Paper.

Cut a piece of construction paper to be the exact length of your paper roll. Spread glue from a glue stick onto one side of the paper. Line up the ends of the paper with the ends of the paper roll, then wrap the paper around the roll so it’s completely covered.

Using a glue gun or glue dots, attach one of the googly eyes to the middle of one of the larger pom poms. Repeat for the second googly eye and second larger pom poms. Using a glue gun or glue dots, attach each of the dragon eyes to one end of the paper roll and the two smaller pom poms near the other end of the paper tube to make the dragon’s nose.

For the fire, cut scraps of red, yellow, and orange tissue paper to belong pointy strips, about 9″ or 10″ long. Spread some glue from a glue stick onto the straight end of one of the strips of tissue paper, then attach it to the inside of the paper roll under the dragon’s nose. 

Repeat and keep gluing tissue paper to the inside of the paper roll as you work your way around the roll. Your paper roll dragon is complete! Take a deep breath, put your mouth on the end of the paper roll and BLOW!
