Let’s Make a Vampire!

Step 1: Wrap Half of the Paper Roll in a Skin Toned Colored Piece of Paper

Select a skin colored piece of paper and cut a strip to fit half of the paper roll.

Wrap the paper around one half of the paper roll and secure with glue.

Step 2: Use Black Paper to Create Hair for the Vampire

Cut a second strip of black paper to fit one wrap around the top of the paper roll.

Draw a hair shape (half a heart shape) in the middle of the paper strip and cut it out.

Step 3: Affix a Pair of Eyes, Draw a Smile and Make Paper Fangs

Wrap the hair strip over the top of the skin colored piece of the paper.

The cut out hair feature will frame Dracula’s face and create his signature sleek hair look.

Step 4: Wrap a Piece of White Paper Around the Bottom Part of the Vampire

Cover the remaining half of the vampire with a strip of white paper.

Step 5: Create Black Waistcoat and Collar

Cut out a strip of black paper and a single slit in the middle.

Fold the newly created corners down to create collars.

Step 6: Affix the Vampire’s Waistcoat

Glue the newly created black waistcoat on top of the white paper shirt.

Step 7: Create a Large Red Collar for the Vampire’s Cape

Next, draw to trapezoid shapes from a piece of red paper – one will be the collar and the other, Dracula’s cape!

Step 8: Affix the Cape

Step 9: Create and Affix the Vampire’s Cape

Step 10: Complete the Vampire with a Small Red Bow

Complete Dracula’s look by creating a tiny bow from a piece of red ribbon and glueing it to the top of his white shirt.

I hope your little vamps enjoy making their very own mini Count Dracula’s!
