Rattle Snake Eggs Prank

After recently visiting a Souvenier Shop in Missouri, while touring, my friend had bought a Rattle Snake Eggs prank. The price was over 6 dollars for materials that cost under a quarter. So I decided to recreate the prank but with different materials, and make it easier to work. This project will only cost under a quarter if you search for the materials, which aren't hard to find.

There is only 4 different things you need:

- A soda bottle cap
- A paperclip
- A rubber band
- A paper envelope, or paper pouch.

The first step is to take a regular paper clip and bend it, into a shape that is a rectangle, missing one of its longer sides. After that you must take the rubberband and put it on the paper clip ends, so you can keep it tight and working.

The next step is to take your bottle cap, and put it between the rubber bands.

Now to make the prank seem less conspicuous, on my envelope I wrote Rattle Snake Eggs, and Caution: Keep in a cold environment to prevent hatching. So there is a couple phrases that could be on the envelope.

Now you have to repeatedly twist the cap, in the rubberband. Do this at least 25 times or more, that way there will a longer lasting effect.

Now carefully holding the twisted trap, place it in the envelope, then after that close the envelope. Make sure the trap can not be seen.

Now when some one opens up the envelope, the closed walls, will open and the prank will start untwisting an it will hit the walls and make a loud unexpected noise.
