Fold into the fish base, as seen in
next diagram.

Reverse fold the flap down.

Note the first fold should have been
centered to the bottom point of the model
as shown. Reverse fold the flap back up.

Make another inside crimp.

One more inside crimp fold and a
simple reverse fold and the tail is complete.
Valley fold the flaps back a little more than
half way to make the wings for your dragon.

Note that on this reverse fold you
are folding the down so that the top
of the fold is parallel to the bottom of
the model.

Reverse fold the flap back into the model
even with the edge of the body.

Valley fold both sides of the
model back as far as it will go.

Valley fold the top layer on
both sides over so it matches
the front edge.

You should have a little triangle
of paper where it is thicker, showing.
Fold up along its edges a rabbits ear
fold.

Mountain fold a little of the bottom corner
of the dragons belly in to make it a little
rounder. Then valley fold down the small
flaps you made with the rabbits ear to make
the dragons arms. Outside reverse fold
the head.

Reach up inside of the head and pull
out the trapped layer to make the head
larger.

A simple set of reverse folds to form the
face and lower jaw.

All that is left is to pleat
the wings!

And Voila! A dragon simple enough to teach to
children! And it only took me two years of
fumbling for it to find it! Enjoy!!!!
