-Red pen
-Black paint, paint brush, container and newspaper to paint on

Stage 1
-Cut out the stencil and draw onto the inside of the paper plate
-Cut out the design on the plate. You can then use a plate for the actual stencil if making several models
-Paint the inside of plate black, then the outside and leave to dry

Stage 2
-Cut see-through plastic into squares slightly bigger than the plate..
-When dry, apply glue to the inside of the plate (pritt stick is easier)
-Place the plastic onto the plate and smooth out
-Cut off excess plastic to the shape of the plate

Stage 3
-Cut a white circular sticker in half and stick on for eyes. Draw in the centre of the eyes with red pen
-Cut 2 triangles from a sticker and stick on for fangs
