July TeenTake & Make Craft: BEAD LIZARD

 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?

Kits are available to pick up in the Young Adult area of the library, while supplies last. They are going fast so come get one soon.

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!
