Cut each piece of crepe paper in half lengthwise so that you have 6 – 12 inch piece of crepe paper. For the body of the dragon, stack three piece of crepe paper on top of each other and fold into an accordion shape approximately a half inch wide.

COMPLETING DRAGON
Turn dragon head and body over and tape the ends of the three pieces of accordion crepe paper to the head and the other ends to the tail. Tape one chopstick to the head and one to the tail with the bottom of the straw hanging off the bottom of the puppet.
