Dawn, from England, shows us how to create colourful Dragon shadow wings.
What did you do?
You need a cardboard box, coloured acetate paper, sticky tape, scissors, ribbon and black paint.
Cut a big cardboard box into symmetrical dragon shaped wings
Cut out shapes, again symmetrically.
Paint your wings.
Where you have cut out shapes stick the acetate with sticky tape.
Punch two holes about half way down about 10cm apart
And another two holes another 10cm down. Thread the ribbon through.
Took around an hour to make.
Can be adapted for girls as a butterfly.
Use the shape you cut out to help on the other side with the symmetry.

How are you finding being housebound so far?
It’s a challenge working full time and home schooling but Into a routine now. Some days are harder than others. We try to have fun and ,are the most of the quality time we have together.
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Recycle your cardboard and plastics… the junk is perfect treasure for crafting.
Has this website and community helped you?
It’s fun and has great ideas.
