How to Make Fake Snakes
- 1). Lay the first bottle cap upside-down on a small block of wood.
- 2). Punch a hole through the center of the bottle cap with a hammer and nail.
- 3). Repeat this process with all bottle caps.
- 4). Tape the first cap down on the wooden block with masking tape. The shard of metal from punching the hole should face up.
- 5). Grind the shard off of the bottle cap with a rotary tool and stone grinding bit. Keep the bit moving so it does not overheat. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes.
- 6). Grind all of the bottle caps in this way.
- 7). Lay out the bottle caps on a piece of newspaper, and spray paint them the color that you want for your snake. Allow them to dry. Flip them over, and paint the other side.
- 8). Tie a large knot in the end of a 2-foot piece of red yarn. Thread the other end of the yarn through a large needle.
- 9). Thread the yarn through the bottle caps, one at a time. All of the caps should face the same direction.

Hammer the nail through the center of a large cork. Pull the nail out again. Paint the cork to match the bottle caps. Let dry. - 11
Pass the needle and yarn through the hole in the cork. - 12
Glue the yarn in place on the end of the cork. When the glue is dry, cut the yarn. Leave two inches to serve as the snake's tongue. - 13
Decorate the cork head with googly eyes or additional paint.
