Dragon puppet base tutorial (my version)

materials
•glue gun
•cardstock
•scissors
•pencil
•ruler

Step one draw base and cut it out
Look at the pic, most parts r in pairs so make them exactly the same
Step two assemble with glue gun
Take one of the face part and use that to pile everything else on top. First apply the two head inner base about the same width as ur hand and towards the bottom. Then apply the top of the head on the base then going down the forehead and finally the snoot
Step three assemble the jaw
Do the same as the head but use the jaw inner base and make both of them as close to the edges as possible (do not go over or else it would look weird)
Step four assemble the jaw and the head
Use a small bend piece of cardstock (this piece is not shown in the parts pic cuz i forgot) glue one side of the piece on the jaw first then the other side on the head, it should move up and down like a dragon’s mouth
And FINISHED!!!
Test it out and draw a design to glue onto the base
