STEP 4: Colour your eyebrows green with eyeshadow

STEP 7: Use green and blue eye shadow, and draw the scales on your eyes with black eyeliner

STEP 8: Use red lipstick to color your inner lips and finish it up with dark green lipstick for the rest.

Part II: The Golden Bracelets:

STEP 1: Take the thread/string to measure your wrist

STEP 2: Mark the length on the craft foam

STEP 3: Cut out two thick and four thin pieces out of the craft foam.

STEP 4: Stick the thinner pieces upon the thicker one at the borders.

STEP 5: Join the ends together with super glue.

STEP 6: Use acrylic to paint it gold.

Gold Bangles are ready!

Part III: Hair and Accessories

STEP 1: Clip on the smaller toy snakes with the heads near your parting.

STEP 2: Stick the tails of the two bigger toy snakes, and wear them around your neck like a necklace

STEP 3: Put on your golden bracelets.

STEP 4: Stick the green gemstone AKA ‘Naag Mani’ on your forehead with some adhesive.

With this you have successfully transformed into ‘an ichha dhari’ Naagin (literally). Now go scare the sh*t out of your friends, in your desi halloween avatar!
