How to Make Your Doll a Pet Snake

I've already made this myself and you will see pictures soon, don't worry. I will post them today or tomorrow on Instagram. I decided to make this because American Girl's snake costs $30; and I thought I should share with you a way to make something similar. (kind of) It's super easy and I hope you enjoy!

Supplies:        

- a small, glass, cage-like-thing

- Model Magic (or air dry clay or Play-Dough)

- fake leaves (you will probably have to cut them so they are the correct size)

- small twigs that will fit in your cage

- acrylic paint in colors of your choice

- tinfoil or plastic wrap

- black permanent marker

- Mod Podge (optional)

Steps:

1: Mold you Model Magic into the shape of a snake. Make sure that it can fit into your cage.

2: Paint your snake with the acrylic paint. You may mix Mod Podge with the acrylic paint if you'd like to make the snake better quality and more realistic.

3: Let the paint dry.

4: Add eyes to the snake with a permanent marker.

5: Put the snake in the cage.

6: Add the fake leaves and twigs to the cage. (trust me, you want to put the snake in first)

7:  Put either tinfoil or plastic wrap over the top of the cage. 

8: Poke holes in the lid you just made so the snake can "breathe".

I hope this was helpful!
