Chinese Dragon Pull Toy

Step 7Attaching the Mechanism

Attaching the Mechanism
Once the glue has dried, if you haven't attached the harness, hook it up now.

Poke the ends of the wire through the holes in the side of the mask orienting the mechanism so that if the string were pulled the spool would move the dragon backwards.

To add a little tension to overcome friction, rotate the spool a couple turns without pulling the string, the same direction the spool would rotate if you were pulling the string.

Feed the string through the hole in the top of the mask.

Secure the harness to the underside of the mask with tape. The wire gives the head its shape, so feel free to adjust it to whatever pleases you.
