Steps:
Craft the snakes out of wire and foil, making sure the coil is correct
Find a long stick and sand it smooth
Connect the snakes to the stick using hot glue and skewer sticks
Carve the wings out of spray foam and cover the snakes in air dry clay
Connect wings same as the snakes
Add stoppers on top and bottom
Spray paint everything gold
Drawbacks:
I wish I used a different material for the wings because the spray foam had a lot of holes and was hard to carve
The air dry clay for the snakes cracked a lot but they were only visible close up
