"So once you are set up and you are ready to roll your snake. You've got your tape and you've got your newspaper laid out we are going to start rolling and we're going to roll from the corner, rolling from the corner that is on the bottom of this stack of newspapers. So what we are going to do is we’re going to start rolling and you want to keep it light a tight roll, not too tight. You want to be able to roll and catch the newspaper as it goes so we are rolling and grabbing the newspaper and we are also going in a diagonal direction so that we go from one corner to the opposite corner making the snake as long as possible and as the corners start to pop up we are going to tape them down. There we go. So we're just going to take those small pieces of tape that we had ready and tape it down and continue rolling. We'll eventually tape over those pieces of tape so they're not going to show, a few more and as you can see our snake is actually pretty long. He'll be perfect, and there is our last one to tape down and this gives you the length of the snake and it is ready to be shaped."
