Newspaper Snakes: Embellishing

Video Transcript

"Our snake has its eyes now and now we're ready to start embellishing the snake. This is the fun part where you can get really creative. You can start with embellishing by using some glitter paint and this is Tempra so it is just mainly a thin glitter paint. You could use just regular glitter if you'd like with some glue but I like the paint because it sticks down nicely. So what we're going to do is we're going to pick that up and you can put it anywhere on its face. You can put it on the foil which gives it a really cool effect and down its body and having a range of colors also makes it fun. You can throw some blue glitter in there and add some blue. I don't usually worry about rinsing out my brush when I'm applying the glitter paint because it is pretty thin so we'll just add some glitter. The other thing that we can do is we can add sequins and we do that by just putting a dot of glue on to our snake wherever we want our sequins to go and we've got variety. You can usually pick these up in a craft store and they are multiple colors and we can stick these down all along our snake and they just make it really interesting, bright and shiny. You could put them on the face and give it a little nose, although I don't think snakes have noses like this, there we go. And you can just continue to put the sequins on."
