How to Make a Snake Memo Clip from a Plastic Straw Feb 5th 2013, 08:00 This winding snake is useful for holding your memo notes at your desk or in the kitchen. It's also pretty enough to be used as a decoration in its own right. - Cut the snake's head out from the plastic straw. Use the diagram as a guide (note that the eye is added in a later step).
- Below the head, cut the snake's body. Cut the body in a spiral fashion (see diagram in previous step), tapering the spiral more thinly as you reach the tail end.
- For help with cutting the spiral, refer to the video below. Or, check out the instructions and images in this article.
- Decorate. Stick on googly eyes at the head end.
- Done. You now have a snake memo clip. Why not make a few more?
- Hang the snake memo clip. Use the spiral body slits to wrap the snake over something of an appropriate size. Insert a note into the snake's mouth to pinch it in place.
- Use your snake memo clip in a variety of ways. For example, you can hang scrap paper, small leaflets, flyers, your patient registration card, receipts, tickets, etc.
- The snake can also be used as a decoration for the Zodiac.
Edit Warnings - Heavy pieces of paper might be too much for the snake to hold in place; only use for light and small notes.
Edit Things You'll Need - Plastic straw in color of your choice
- Googly eyes
- Adhesive (if eyes aren't self-adhering)
- Pair of scissors
