How to Make Your Waldorf Dragon Window Transparency

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Set up a comfortable workspace and gather all of your materials. Print your dragon template, then choose the colors of silk paper or kite paper you'd like to use. Whether your dragon is fiery red, forest green, or a rainbow of colors, this is your chance to make it uniquely your own.

Step 2: Cut Out Your Dragon Template

Carefully cut out the dragon template using scissors or a craft knife (with adult assistance if needed). Take your time around the smaller details for the best finished result.

Step 3: Glue Your Colors

Turn the dragon template over and begin gluing pieces of silk paper or kite paper to the back. Layer different colors and shapes to create a glowing stained-glass effect. Don't forget to add a burst of colorful fire for your dragon to breathe!

Step 4: Trim the Edges

Once the glue has dried, flip your dragon over and carefully trim away any excess paper around the edges. Your dragon is now ready to catch the light.
