Material:
- 5 plastic cups (3 of one color and 2 of another)
- 1 plastic container
- Two balls of cork or porexpan
- Yellow rope
- Black marker pen
- Red stickers
- Double-sided adhesive tape
- Punch
- Scissors
How to make a Chinese recycling dragon
1. Place the glasses so that the colors are interspersed. Drill a hole with the punch at the base of the cups and pass the yellow string. Tie a knot at the end of the rope so it does not escape. If you want the cups not to come together, go making knots at the end of each cup and leaving the space you want for the body, it can be more or less long.
2. Put a red heart-shaped sticker on the yellow packaging or cut out a piece of red paper and glue it on.
3. With a piece of double-sided adhesive tape, stick the first glass of the strip inside the plastic container.
4. Take the two porexpan balls and paint them as if they were eyes. Paint the whole ball of the same color and in the center, with a black marker, make a circle.
5. Embed the balls in the plastic container
