Become the mother (or father of dragons) and re-take the iron throne with your own DIY felt no sew dragon eggs. These dragon eggs make a great accessory for any GOT viewing party, a cool costume accessory or just a fun table display.
The addition of glitter felt adds some fun depth and sparkle to the eggs. Don’t let the number scales intimidate you, you can easily cut 2 or three in a stack.
Best of all these beauties are no sew. Don’t pack up those plastic Easter eggs just yet, they play a key role in these Game of Thrones inspired dragon eggs as a stable base for the scales.
You will need:
Plastic Easter eggs – you can use any size the ones I selected were 3″ tall
Hot glue gun and glue
9″ x 12″ – wool blend felt sheet, I used Granny Smith, Mauve Taupe and Fresh Linen
5″ x 6″ – Glitter Felt I used Gold, Champagne and Silver
Felt dragon egg scale template – you can also freehand these.
Cut
9″ x 12″ sheets into scales – this should leave you with a few more scales that you need.
Cut glitter felt into scales as well. You can also free hand cut the scales or change the shape as desired but for best results you will want them all to be around the same size. These are 1″ tall (dragon scale template at the end of this post)
I paired the granny smith with gold, the mauve with the champagne and the off white with the silver, the options are nearly limitless.
Start gluing scales down starting at the larger bottom end. Hot glue down as shown.
Working in rows glue scales around the egg with the points facing downward towards the bigger bottom. Glue down glitter scales randomly for depth.
Continue until you have covered the entire egg.
