This month have fun making a super cute Bead Lizard/Gecko you can turn into a keychain or lanyard.
My Gecko: Isn't it cute?
The kits include beads, cord, keychain or clip, and instructions to make a lizard. I thought it was really fun making the gecko. I'm not going to say it was easy, as the instructions are somewhat complicated, but if you concentrate and follow along step-by-step you should be able to do it.
If you aren't able to grab a kit at the library, you can download the instructions HERE. You will need about 34 main color beads, 24 secondary color beads, 2 black beads, and approximately 4 feet of cord or string. Pony beads work well for this craft. FYI, I did not create these instructions. They were shared with me by a librarian from another library.
Try it out, and let us know how your gecko came out!
