Making A Dragon Trophy for Missionary Kids

Posted by john_abbott on Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

As some of you know, there are timesĀ I end up with fun projects! This was one of them. Our youth group leaders put on a banquet in honor of the teens (and graduating teens). Every year they choose a theme, and then the creative juices start pumping. This years theme was castle/masquerade so I got the “bright idea” to make a dragon trophy head similar to a deer trophy head to adorn the castle wall. So after some research online, I made a dragon out of plaster cloth, paper mache, paper clay made from toilet paper, super sculpey, ping pong balls, and old sheets dipped in glue. John made a wooden shield wall hanger with wooden arms that extended into the head to help make it more solid.

Luke thinks he is going to hang it up in his college dorm room! I guess it would make an interesting thing to wake up to.
