What I used to make this Medusa Snake Crown:
⚫ Simple 1 inch Black headband (I bought mine at Walmart, but here's one on Amazon: amzn.to/2k06kM5)
⚫ 20 gauge wire (can be found at most craft stores)
⚫ Large snakes: amzn.to/2ksgyFb
⚫ Small snakes: amzn.to/2lTdxhp
⚫ Spray Paint Primer: Found at most hardware or paint stores. (You can substitute white spray paint, this is just to create an even base for the gold paint.)
⚫ Metallic Gold Spray Paint: Found at most hardware or paint stores.
⚫ I also recommend a clear spray varnish to help protect the piece.
⚫ Blue painters tape to protect the headband unless you plan on painting the whole thing along with the snakes
⚫ Hot glue gun: Found in most craft or hardware stores, can even be found at Walmart.
⚫ Needle nose pliers: Most needle nose pliers will come with built in wire snips, but if you can't find a pair that do, then I'd also recommend grabbing some wire cutters for the wire. These can also be found in most craft or hardware stores.
I hope this helps and I'd love to see when you're finished! I love getting to see when people follow my tutorials!
Have fun!

[@JessiLeigh]

[@brittanyshaughnessy6252]

How many inches are the snacks?

[@pamelastephens4388]

What gage wire are you using?

[@JessiLeigh]

Shoot, it's been so long I'm not sure anymore... but I think it was 20 guage.

[@pamelastephens4388]

@@JessiLeigh Thank you so much for responding. I have that gauge but seemed not strong enough. Then realized I was using too large of snakes. I have watch this so many times and realized the pic appears larger than the actual snakes. I just got the exact ones you are using. I too, am making it for my daughter. Will post a pic when done.
