Dragon's tongue — 20-22 cm stiff paper cone, 10×20 cm kite paper bag with spring wire attached, rolled up for storage; blown and unfurls. Dyed chicken feathers at the tip.

"Blow into the bottom of the cone and the paper kite bag will inflate and unroll. When you stop blowing, the kite paper will roll back to its original position by the spring force of the flower wire." (Sirindhorn Anthropology Center, CC BY 4.0)

Wrap cardboard into a cone shape, about 20-22 cm long, with a cone opening of about 3 cm and a cone base of 0.5 cm.

Cut a kite paper 10 cm wide and 20 cm long, fold it lengthwise, overlap the edges and glue them together to get a long bag. Iron it flat, place a wire flower strip the same length as the bag in the middle, and cover it completely with lengthwise patterned colored paper. Let the glue dry. Place the bag with the wire side at the bottom. Fold one end back over the bag body. Insert dyed chicken feathers into the inner corners of the bag mouth on both sides. Glue the feathers and the bag mouth tightly so that no air escapes.

Slide the remaining end of the bag over the cone tip, glue it in place, and then cover it with patterned paper all the way around the length of the cone. Roll the bag's end so the side with the wire is on the inside, rolling down until reaching the tip of the cone.

Blow into the cone end. The paper kite bag will inflate and unroll. Stop blowing, and the bag will roll back up by the spring force of the wire.

The dragon's tongue is a Thai folk toy made of paper. Be careful of the sharp tips of the wire.
