What you need:
50 beads (Ø about 8 mm / 0.3 in):
two black
beads,
three red beads and the rest a mixture of
brown,
red, orange, and/or yellow
beads,
1.5 m /
1.5 yd of sewing or crochet thread,
two thicker needles
(that you can still pull through the
beads),
scissors
Mix the coloured beads.
Thread each end of the thread through one needle.
String two red beads and pull them up to the middle of the thread.
Add another red bead according to the basic technique.
That is the tongue of the snake.
Add a row with two beads.
Then apply two rows with three beads each.
The colours of the beads should vary.
For the next row apply a black bead first,
then two beads in other colours and then a black one again.
The black beads are the eyes of the
snake.
Then apply two more rows with three beads each again.
Now the head is finished.
Pull the beads of the head tight
so that the head gets a little
rounder.
What follows are twelve rows with two beads each.
Finally, apply five rows with only one bead.
Tie the ends of the thread together firmly.
Do not pull the beads of the body of the snake too tight.
Thus, it remains
flat.
