Look at the photo and find points 1,2,3, 4 and 5.
To sculpt the eyes: take some strong sewing thread and fasten it below in point 1, take the needle out in point 2. Insert the needle in point 3 and back intopoint 1. Sculpt the second eye. Points 1 - 4 - 5 - 1.
Fasten the thread.
Glue the eyes on. Sew on the eyelids.
Tie a piece of pink thread inside the mouth, this will be the snake's tongue. Make teeth from a disposable plastic fork. Use a thick knitting needle or a sewing needle to expand the hole for each tooth. Glue on the teeth.
Embroider nostrils. Optional: tint the snake with a marker pen.
The snake is ready!
Decorate the snake with a witch's hat. Place it on a broom! This is a great decor for Halloween!
