"So now we have painted our snake. We have chosen more of a fantasy approach, the green snake with the pink polka dots. What we are going to do now is something that you probably have in your house. We are going to use some foil to make him really interesting and what we will do is you can use scissors or you can use the foil. Choose your side and what I like to do is rip or cut a shape that we can actually wrap around so I'm going to give this snake a foiled tail and we are just going to squeeze it in that same area, that same place that we put the tape down and we are going to make the shape of the tail. It is important that we don't squeeze it too tightly so that we can maintain a shape and really foil is pretty easily manipulated, it is a fun product to work with and you can squeeze it in like this. We can also take pieces of foil and wrap it around and give him some stripes. I always think that this looks really interesting on our snake and if we run out it's okay we can always add more. We can just wrap it right around and foil holds pretty well so you can always put a dot of glue if there is a problem with that."
