How to Make a Lunar New Year Dragon

1. Transfer your Chinese dragon drawing onto gold card stock using transfer paper. Be sure to trace the head and body as one piece and then trace the legs and tail as separate pieces.

2. Carefully cut out the dragon pieces using an x-acto knife and cutting mat.

3. Lay out the dragon pieces, placing the legs and tail where they look best. Using a hole punch, create a small hole at each "joint" where the legs, tail and body will overlap. Assemble the "joints" using brads*.

4. Hang the dragon using string or twine.

*A brad is a paper fastener that can be used when making crafts with movable joints. It has a circular end with two prongs. To use a brad, push the prongs through a hole in paper and then bend them outward on the reverse side to hold the paper in place.
