How do you make snake hats?

[JLC]

you could ask the gandolph wears hats woman

I could be wrong, but I think she has an exceptionally patient snake. I believe she makes all her hats herself, out of a lightweight clay that you bake in the oven, and I'm pretty sure they are just set on top of the snake's head for the cute pictures. One great photo never tells the whole story about how many times it may have fallen off during the photo shoot.
