I used red/black paracord but you can use any kind of paracord as long as you can easily pull out the white nylon core. To cut the rope to size i used the formula 5 cm + the length that you want for the tale . I used a bendable metal cord as a replacement for the white nylon. To keep the metal from sliding out i burned the ends this also stops it from unraveling .

Bend the Paracord

to make the head i bend the rope in to a m (for the eyes) than i band 2 stacked u`s (for the mouth) the rest of the snake can be however you want it . i also pasted the eyes on

to make the video you need 2 things a stop-motion app (i used picpac ) and some ``actors`` .You need to make a lot of pictures so make sure you have enough empty memory left on your phone .
