A sample from THIS PRINTABLE TEMPLATE / PATTERN: [link]
Cardstock and glue/tape.

----------------------
TIPS FOR CRAZY CRAFTERS:
Grey Cardstock: I just printed a big light grey blob onto some white cardstock to make my 'grey paper'. Worked surprisingly well. Test print a small part to see if your printer can print solid ink uniformly.
See-through Issues: Cardstock was surprisingly translucent - so you can see the overlapping parts and inner guidelines if you hold it up (a problem to consider if you want to hang it in a window or hang from a mobile). A second layer of cardstock I added on back (just trimmed a 2nd body a little closer) got rid of the tail/wings/mane overlap showing up. But I could still see the printed dashed lines, bubbles, and nostril through the paper, so you should delete those if you don't plan to paint/cut/glue something over them.
2nd Body Layer Tip: It would have been cool to cut the back legs off the first body piece and then have the 2nd body glued to the back show those legs to give a little more layering.
Make Layers Pop: I added little mini rolls of paper under the top wing to make it lift up and add a bit of depth/shadowing. Otherwise - you might want to try different shades of grey for each wing to make them stand out more.
