Most often, snakes are molded from green plasticine. We also advise you to choose such a bar, or replace it with gray, black or brown.


To begin with, work has to be done on processing a dense mass. If the plasticine is dense, then kneading a large piece will not be so easy, but it is quite easy to do it in separate portions. Form a lump of the desired size.


Put the blank on the modeling board and press it down with the palm of your hand. Start rocking the mass with your palm to get a thin long sausage. It should be the same in diameter along the entire length, only leave one end more voluminous, highlighting the head.


Decorate the front part: eyes in the form of narrow lye, nostrils.
