Materials and Tools Required:
To achieve the extreme micro size, we use specialized miniature crochet tools and threads.

Yarn & Threads:

• Main Color: Embroidery floss, separated into individual strands (Brands like Iris Gamma or DMC cotton floss are recommended). Note: Can be substituted with thin sewing thread. The thinner the thread, the smaller your dragon!
• Contrasting Color: Embroidery floss for wings and crests (a matching shade of the Main Color looks stunning).
• Details: Black sewing thread or floss for the nostrils.
• Cinching: Rip-resistant sturdy thread (e.g., sewing thread held double).

Hardware & Tools:

• Hook: 0.5 mm crochet hook [US Steel Hook Size 18].
• Eyes: 2 mm glass toy eyes. (Alternative: polymer clay covered with a glossy enamel finish, or small seed beads).
• Wire: 0.5 mm [0.02 inches] craft wire that holds its shape well.
• Needle: Thin beading needle, diameter 0.45 mm [0.02 in].
• Crafting Basics: Sharp nail scissors, tailor pins, awl, round-nose pliers.

Assembly & Finishing:

• Adhesive: Super glue gel (e.g., “Moment” brand) for sturdy, permanent bonds.
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill.
• Stuffing Tools: A toothpick, broken felting needle, or precision tweezers.
• Blushing: Watercolors and a toothpick for delicate shading.
