If you’re someone with a small beader-in-training in your life, then I have just the summer holiday antidote for you today! This brand new video is just for you!
These beaded geckos and lizards use just a few beads and some elastic and are excellent for adding to backpacks and school book bags! So if you’re looking for a great kid-friendly craft to do together, this is it!
My daughter and her friends are OBSESSED with these beaded geckos, so I just had to turn it into a video. Grab your pony beads and keep those little hands busy this school break!
YOU WILL NEED:
- 🦎 120cm of fabric-covered elastic
- Plastic pony beads. For the design shown I used:
- 🦎36 x green (main colour)
- 🦎24 x yellow (tummy/feet)
- 🦎2 x dark brown (eyes)
- 🦎Carabiner/keychain -optional
- 🦎Scissors 🦎Glue (optional)

Have fun experimenting with colours and patterns! You can use as many colours as you wish. Why not give your lizard stripes?
