Crafty: Paper dragon illusion

Here’s a fun one for you – and all you need is card, a printer, scissors and tape.

The Gathering for Gardner dragon (if you’re wondering why Gathering for Gardner, click here) is a fantastic optical illusion – a inconspicuous (if grinning in a sinister fashion) dragon, who watches you as you move around the room. Ben LOVES him – I find him a tiny bit creepy.

Basically, he’s a form of the Hollow-Face Illusion – his head IS concave (don’t worry – you have’t folded it inside out, like I thought I had – it’s meant to look like that), but that is what makes him so wonderful.

So, what are you waiting for? Click the image above to get started. Get clicking, get printing, get cutting & sticking!!
