You can easily make a snake out of construction paper rings. The more rings you add, the longer your snake will be. Here's a list of what you will need to make such a snake: Several sheets of construction paper Red paper Scissors Glue stick, tape, or stapler White school glue or tacky glue Markers, crayons, or googly eyes You will need at least 16 strips. The more you make, the longer your snake will be. Consider stacking the paper and cutting several sheets at the same time. This will make the cutting part faster. Pick up a strip of paper and bring the two ends together. Overlap them by about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). Use a glue stick to hold them together. You can also use tape or a stapler instead. Do not use white school glue or tacky glue. It does not dry fast enough. Your snake will fall apart before the glue dries. If you are using a stapler, ask an adult to help you. Keep repeating this step until you run out of strips of paper. You can make your snake just one color, or you can make it many colors. You can give your snake a pattern, or make the colors random. Cut a skinny rectangle from red paper and cut a V shape into one end to make the fork. Fold the flat side over by about inch (1.27 centimeters) to make a tab. Glue the tab to one of the end rings. You can draw them on using a marker or crayon. You can also glue them on using some white school glue or tacky glue.

summary: Gather your supplies. Cut the paper into 1 to 2 inch (3.81 to 5.08 centimeters) thick strips. Make a ring out of a strip of paper and glue it shut. Slip a strip of paper through the ring and glue the ends together. Add the tongue. Add the eyes right above the tongue.

Plan your mural design by making a basic mock-up. Use a pencil, pen, and any other tools you feel comfortable drawing with. Some common themes of murals include landscapes, fictional characters, sports, and cities. You don't need to color the image or factor in the mural's size yet. This is a template for your finished mural. You will need it if you plan on transferring the design to the mural using a grid. To come up with a mural theme, ask anyone you're working with, including the building owner. If you're working in your own home, think of what inspires or motivates you, what you enjoy drawing, and what you want to look at every day. Climb up your ladder or scaffolding to reach the top part of your mural. Using a tape measure, measure from the ceiling to the bottom edge of the wall. Also, measure across the wall to find out how much wall space you have to work with. If you are unable to measure a big wall, ask the property owner for a blueprint or other documents containing the measurements. You may need to estimate the wall's dimensions. Using a pencil and ruler, make a series of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines. Measure your template paper as needed to figure out its size and space the grid lines evenly. As a general rule of thumb, space the grid lines 1in (2.5cm) apart, since grids of this size work for just about any mural. Factor in the size of the wall when making the grid. For larger, more complex murals, divide up the sketch with more frequent grid lines. Each grid box contains a small part of your image that you will transfer to the finished mural later. Do a little math in order to transfer the grid properly from your paper to the wall. Multiply the reference drawing's dimensions to blow them up to the size of the wall. The template grid and the wall grid need to be at a 1 to 1 ratio, having an equal number of lines spaced a proportionate distance apart. For example, if the wall is 10ft 10ft (3.0m 3.0m), break the paper down into a 1in 1in (2.5cm 2.5cm) squares. Every 1in (2.5cm) on the paper equals 1ft (30cm) of wall space. For instance, your reference image is 5in 7in (13cm 18cm). Your wall is 10in 14in (25cm 36cm). If you multiply the dimensions by 2, making each grid on the wall 2in 2in (5.1cm 5.1cm), you can easily transfer your design.

summary: Draw your mural design on a piece of paper before painting it. Measure the wall space you have available for your mural. Create a grid over the design you drew on paper. Draw a grid on the mural wall in chalk.

Professional nail salons have the right equipment to give you a long lasting coat of polish. If you want a really long-lasting coat that doesn't chip, you can opt for a gel manicure, which uses a super hard setting type of nail polish that acts almost like acrylic nails. If you are very dedicated to having long nails, you can get acrylic nails, which are fake nails that are attached to your actual nails. These nails are very, very strong but they cost more than a regular manicure and are quite a commitment. Although there is a myth that you should soak your nails before a manicure, water on your nails will actually stop the polish from adhering correctly. This could cause your nail polish to chip off quickly. You also want to make sure there are no creams or lotions on on your nails right before painting them. This will also stop the polish from attaching correctly. More expensive nail polishes usually contain more pigment, fewer potentially toxic chemicals, and better brushes inside. That said, you don't need to spend $50 to get a quality bottle of nail polish. Balance your budget with your desire for a crisp and smooth manicure. Also avoid using quick-drying polish if you want to avoid chips. The formula of quick-drying polish, while containing the same ingredients as the regular, has different ratios of ingredients. This difference in ratio makes the polish more likely to chip. Don't use a 2-in-1 base and top coat. These will not work as well as a separate base and top coats that are each formulated specifically for their location on your nail. Letting each coat dry completely allows it to become hard and tough. Besides the possibility of messing up the previous coat, waiting for each coat to dry is an important, but frustrating, step in creating a lasting manicure. You will want to brush on at least 2-3 coats. Remember, you want to let each coat dry before adding on another. Begin your top coat by doing a small layer around the tip of the nail. Then, once that is dry, cover the whole nail in top coat. This will give the tip of your nails more strength over the life of your manicure. Apply a few layers of top coat if you have the time to do it. The top coat should leave a nice, smooth finish that will resist chips and snags.
summary: Consider getting a professional manicure. Apply nail polish when your nails are dry. Use good quality nail polish. Use a base coat. Let the polish dry completely between coats. Apply several layers of polish. Apply a top coat.
