Snake Decoration

Difficulty: Very Easy

Parental supervision is recommended

Give a pencil, pen or straw near you a neat looking snake decoration. This kids' craft is a fun way to decorate all sorts of things kids use every day.

What you'll need:

  • Gray chenille stem (or any color)
  • Red scrap of felt
  • Scissors
  • Two (six millimeter) wiggle eyes
  • Glue
  • Pencil, pen, or straw to wrap the snake around
 

How to make it:

  1. Bend back one inch of the chenille stem to form the head. Add a drop of glue to hold in place.
  2. Cut a piece of felt about 3/4 inch long by 1/4 inches wide.
  3. Cut a "V" shape in one end of the felt to make the tongue.
  4. Glue the other end of the felt to the head (see photo).
  5. Glue a wiggle eye to each side of the head (see photo).
  6. Wrap the rest of the chenille stem around the pencil or object of your choice.
