Construction Manual
Turn around segments 1+2+3+4 and place the ribbons straight. Place a part of the 5th segment, with the smooth side pointing
upwards onto the red ribbons at a distance of 3,5 to 4 cm to the 4th segment. Guide the red ribbons upwards and stick them as
illustrated.
Then glue the 2nd part of segment 5 as illustrated and let it set thoroughly. Place the red ribbons on top of the segment so that
they point in the same direction as the green ribbon.

This time do not turn the segments around. Put the lower
part of the 6th segment on top of the green ribbon at a
distance of 3,5 to 4 cm to segment 5. Stick the red ribbons as
illustrated. Guide the green ribbon upwards and stick them
centrally between the red ribbons.
Affix the cover of the 6th segment using glue and let it set
thoroughly. Cut off the protruding ribbons (segment 6). Glue
the wiggle eyes onto segment 1 using the protruding green
ribbon.
Done!!!
glue eyes
How it works:
Hold the rattle snake at the thin side of the head next to its eyes and let its tail hang downwards. If the wrist performs a
180 degree rotation, the 2nd segment of the snake turns down. This causes a chain reaction which activates each segment
successively. If you turn your hand to the other side, the effect is initiated once again, etc. in fact this is a matter of optical
illusion. The way the rattle snake is constructed and its movement pattern just cause the rotation of the blocks, the illusion
arises from momentum transfer.
