AdventurerKatziThe autumn time is great to let a kite rise. The autumn wind not only lets colorful leaves dance but also colorful dragons rise in the wind. As autumnal decoration this colorful dragon is suitable. A great cutting exercise is it on top of that. When lifting the finished work children's eyes shine, flat on the table the beauty of the finished artwork is not yet fully recognizable. You can see in this step by step instruction how easy this crafting is. Enjoy trying out.
Put everything in place.
The round cake plate should have about 20 cm diameter. You can also use a bowl or a pot in size.
Get a colorful monochrome clay paper ready.
Place the plate (or bowl) on the paper and paint it with a pencil.
That's how you get a tape loop.
You need a sheet of paper in the size of 10cm x 10cm.
The best way is to use a checkered leaf, here you can cut along the lines.
Place the square with the tip in front of you. Fold the lower tip of the leaf upwards and place it exactly on the upper tip. A triangle is created.
Strip the fracture of the folded triangle smoothly.
Shut up the triangle again, put it in front of you so that the breakout points to you.
Take the side corner and fold it with the bottom edge to the center line.
Strip the fracture smoothly.
Repeat this also with the opposite corner. Fold the lower edge here as well to the middle line. Strip the break also smoothly.
Both sides are now folded to the center line. You now have a small dragon in front of you.
Turn the dragon. It now serves as a template for further handicraft work.
Place the dragon in the middle of the painted circle.
Umpaint the dragon with a pencil. Start at the bottom. Look at the next picture before you start!
Stop painting one or two fingers wide in front of the lower tip.
This gap you need that the kite line stays right on the dragon and you don't cut it off. Here you start to paint a circle around the dragon.
Umpaint the dragon with large circles. The first circle closes at the bottom of the dragon.
The distance between the two lines shows you how the other rings are painted. Always try to keep the same distance from the previous line.
Paint circles around the dragon until you reach the outer line of the circle. Here ends the "dragon cord".
Now you can paint a friendly face on your dragon.
Cut out the outer circle with the scissors once completely.
Now start cutting at the line that touches the outer circle. See picture.
Cut from the outside to the inside of the line. Turn the paper circle again and again so that you can cut well.
Cut to the beginning of the dragon.
Now you can cut out the dragon. Follow the line you painted before.
The dragon "hangs" right on the long strip you cut along.
This is what the cut out looks like. Now you can still paint your dragon face colorfully. Use bright colors here possibly even felt pens.
On the sides (where the ears lie) of the dragon Franzen are now attached.
Make a hole in the side with a perforator. Make sure that the hole is attached with sufficient distance to the edge.
Also make a hole on the opposite side.
That's what the dragon looks like.
Now you need colorful wool.
Wrap the wool thread several times loosely around the fingers of your hand. Hold the beginning of the thread well.
Hold the thread bundle with your thumb and cut the thread off.
Cut the entire bundle of threads with the scissors, so you'll fall for the same length of fan pieces.
Put the threads on the table.
Divide the threads into two identical parts.
Take a thread tangle and put it through the one hole. For this you can use a pen. With this you can push the threads more easily through the small hole.
Pull the threads halfway through the hole.
Place both ends of the thread on top of each other and knot them together. Possibly make a double knot.
Direct the knot so that the overhanging threads stand sideways.
Repeat the whole with the second thread bundle on the opposite hole.
Make a knot here, too.
You may still be able to shorten the remaining Franzes with the scissors.
Make a hole with the hole at the upper end of the dragon's head. You can hang the dragon on this one later.
That's what it looks like.
Only small loops are missing on the kite line. You can easily make them out of triangles. Cut small triangles of clay paper remnants. These should be 2 to 3 centimeters in size. You can also use different colors, so your dragon becomes beautiful colorful.
If your dragon lies in front of you, the kite line is still flat on the table. So you should leave it lying. Because here you can easily stick the loops on.
Take a felt pen and paint points on the kite line. Leave at least 5 centimetres of space between the individual points, so the loops have a good distance. Follow the kite line circularly when painting the points and start painting in the middle (see picture).
The dots show you where the loops are when you stick on.
At each point, two small triangles are glued inwards with a tip, creating a small loop. Make sure that you only apply glue on the painted point and not on the triangles.
That's what your finished dragon might look like.
Take the dragon in your hand and slowly lift it up.
So the kite line unfolds. Make sure that you don't tear off accidentally glued loops again. Be very careful with it.
Your dragon is ready. Find a place to hang up. Evlt. you can hang it up with a cord on a curtain rod. At the window it can move and "dance" nicely in the airflow of the radiator.
