Now cut teeth shapes on a piece of white cardboard and paste it around the top edge of the hood that’s under the nostrils. With saw-tooth cut a curved tail edges from brown cardboard and glue it to the back of the shirt. Then, cut a smaller saw-toothed piece and glue it to the center of the hood by starting it right behind the eyes. Next, cut sixteen small V shapes from brown cardboard and glue four each to the ends of a pair of green mittens and to the ends of the feet of green footed pajamas carefully.

Then with a paint marker, draw scallops all over the sweat suit to resemble Dragon skin. Afterwards cut a piece of yellow cotton for a belly of the Dragon. Sew or fuse it to the front of the sweat shirt carefully.

Secondly cut one leg off a pair of girl size large opaque green tights carefully. This is going to be the tail. Then, make a pointed cone shape from cardboard and slip it into the toe. Stuff the leg with fiberfill and sew the end closed tightly. After cutting upside-down V shapes from tan felt and paste them to the top of the tail firmly.
