How Do You Make A Beaded Lizard Keychain?

You know the one I mean - it sounds like "I'm bored!" ringing out in high pitched tones. Give the munchkins something fun to make by working on this simple project. The friendly lizard can be made into key chains, ornaments, zipper pulls or anything a creative mind can come up with.

The kids will love it. Here's how. Gather your supplies.

The age of the child you are working with should determine the materials you use. For example, an older child can handle smaller holed beads, therefore if you have some from old projects, you will be able to use those. A younger child will need something with a larger hole, pony beads work wonderful.

The same goes for the stringing material. An older child may appreciate working with the colored wire, as it will allow their lizard to actually stand, the wire giving it more mobility. A younger child, however, will need something easier and therefore less liable to frustrate them - use yarn or ... more.

By following these easy instructions, you can make your own beaded key chain, and may even have others asking you to make one for them. Find a flat surface where you can make your beaded key chain, since you’ll be arranging the beads before actually stringing them. You can use a bead tray, a table mat or even a towel (so the beads don’t roll away).

Measure the elastic cord to the length you want your key chain to be. Leave an extra inch or so--on both ends--to tie knots when you’re done. Lay it out on the flat surface.

Select your first bead, the one you’d like to be the focal point of your key chain. Then experiment with your other beads until you’ve arranged them in a pattern you like. Line them up next to the elastic cord, which will serve as a measuring tape.

Knot one end of the elastic cord to the key ring. Thread the row of beads as you’ve previously arranged them onto the elastic cord, ... more.

Here's a cute,fun, and creative afternoon activity that you can attach to your backpack. €¢ Obtain some pony beads. €¢ Cut a length of 1/8th inch ribbon around two yards (or meters) long.

€¢ Fold it in half to find the center. €¢ Example of larkshead knot Larkshead knot the center to your lanyard clip or keyring. Tape the ends of the ribbon.

Tape the ends of the ribbon to make them stiffer (and easier to thread through the beads.) • Ribbons go through opposite sides of the bead. Thread one bead onto one ribbon end and then pass the second ribbon end through it from the opposite side towards the key-ring. €¢ Snug against the knot.

Snug them down to push the bead to the knot. €¢ Two beads... same thing. Ribbons go through from each side.

Thread two beads the same way, with the ribbons crossing through from opposite sides. €¢ Snug them against the knot/keyring end. Snug down.

€¢ Add the eyes... Thread your eyes... one eye color bead, one body bead and one eye color... pass ribbons through from ... more.
