Let’s learn to make a color paper snake with Monkey Pen’s guide. 

Step 1: Take a magenta-colored paper cut into a long rectangle.

Step 2: Make a thin film rectangle on one side of the paper and fold it inwards.

Step 3: Flip the paper and create a fold the same way inside.

Step 4: Now the paper looks like a fan. 

Step 5: Make a fold in the centre so two fans are formed. Both are facing vertically up.

Step 6: Hold the fan and cut a small portion of the strip at the base.

Step 7: Apply some glue to one side of the strip in the centre.

Step 8: Fold and paste the strip that looks like a whole wide fan.

Step 9: Collect fans in various other colors like yellow, orange, mustard, red, and dark green.

Step 10: Take the whole magenta fan-shaped strip and put some glue to one side of it.

Step 11: Paste mustard strip in reverse direction on it.

Step 12: Then paste the remaining strips of red, green, yellow, and orange in a descending order.

Step 13: Now take a yellow paper that is in rectangular shape.

Step 14: Draw an outline for the snake’s head and tail.

Step 15: The outlines are drawn.

Step 16: Take scissors.

Step 17: Using scissors cut out the head and tail portions of the snake.

Step 18: Take a red sketch pen.

Step 19: Draw small patches on the snake’s body and tail in the form of half circles.

Step 20: Take an artificial eye sticker.

Step 21: Apply some glue on its back.

Step 22: Glue the eye to the head of the snake.

Step 23: Glue in the opposite eye.

Step 24: Now get a black pen.

Step 25: Using the pen draw a large curving mouth for the snake. 

Step 26: Using a red sketch pen, draw an oval-shaped spot on one side of its mouth.

Step 27: Another oval is also drawn to the other end of the mouth.

Step 28: Create its long, forked tongue using a red paper.

Step 29: Paste the tongue under the mouth.

Step 30: Apply some glue to the front portion of the tail.

Step 31: Paste the tail at the back of the snake, behind the magenta fan-shaped trip.

Step 32: Now take the head and put some glue towards the end, on its front side.

Step 33: The head is placed right before the orange fan shaped strip. 

Step 34: A colorful paper snake is ready.
