Elliot's dragon - Part I

I am not crafty. I do not create cute little home made presents for Christmas or decorate picture frames. Scrapbooking gives me nightmares. I will never own pinking shears. I'm not even sure what those are.
BUT, I love Elliot Gordon. And in 8 days he will be attending the Royal Ball at his school. He is going as a dragon. At least, that's what he's hoping.
This afternoon was not pretty as a clueless mama walked around Walmart and Michael's, called stores looking for green sweat suits and finally dug through three dumpsters looking for large pieces of cardboard. SUCCESS!! As you see in the picture, the Office Max dumpster delivered. The supplies are in. Step II - Cutting.

I completely understand this post. You're smart and creative; the dragon will turn out beautifully.

You can do it Chris! Here is a little hint that has helped me with many a school projects, cakes and costumes. Just Google your project! You'll be amazed at what you find and the ideas that will make your brain work to complete your project. I would love to see pictures when you are done! Good Luck!
