Cartoon Dragon

By Perry Bailey 1999

Reverse fold the flap down.

Fold into the fish base, as seen in next diagram.

Make another inside crimp. 4

Note the first fold should have been centered to the bottom point of the model as shown. Reverse fold the flap back up.

6 5

One more inside crimp fold and a simple reverse fold and the tail is complete. Valley fold the flaps back a little more than half way to make the wings for your dragon.

Note that on this reverse fold you are folding the down so that the top of the fold is parallel to the bottom of the model.

Reverse fold the flap back into the model even with the edge of the body.

Valley fold both sides of the model back as far as it will go.

10

Valley fold the top layer on both sides over so it matches the front edge.

You should have a little triangle of paper where it is thicker, showing. Fold up along its edges a rabbits ear fold.

11 12

Mountain fold a little of the bottom corner of the dragons belly in to make it a little rounder. Then valley fold down the small flaps you made with the rabbits ear to make the dragons arms. Outside reverse fold the head.

Reach up inside of the head and pull out the trapped layer to make the head larger.

A simple set of reverse folds to form the face and lower jaw. All that is left is to pleat the wings!

And Voila! A dragon simple enough to teach to children! And it only took me two years of fumbling for it to find it! Enjoy!!!!
