Once you have assembled the entire wing, insert a two foot section of wire above the front legs through the body. Insert the wings onto the wire and sew them onto the body. Snip off any excess wire and and bend the wings into your desired shape. You can hang your finished dragon on a ceiling with fishing wire, or just have it sit around and look cute!

1. Sew the Wing support arm part A and the Wing support arm part Bs to the Main wing support arm.
2. Sew the webbing part A and webbing part B to the wing assembly.
3. Sew the webbing part Cs onto the wing assembly.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with other wing.

1. Sew the underbelly onto the bottom of the body.
2. Sew the spines along the back of the body, starting at the tip of the tail and ending on top of the head.
3. Sew the horns on the top of the head.
4. Sew the front and back legs to the body.
5. Insert the wire through the body above the front legs.
6. Insert the wings onto the wires and sew the wings onto the body.
7. Trim the extra wire.
8. Sew lines onto the underbelly.

Now all you need to do is name your dragon!
