Just take some crumpled newspapers and add it to some part of the dragon and then secure it with a strip of newspapers dipped in a glue. Continue untill the whole dragon is covered ...

For the details cut the spike of and bend the pushpins with 2 pliers.
Finally add details like thons, horns, eyes, the end of the tail and (optional) add an egg - which is made the same way as the dragon.
