Bead Lizard Keyring

Follow this simple guide to weave beads together to make your own Lizard Keyring!
  • Step 1Cut an 80cm length of green spaghetti string. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Fold the length in half and attach it to a keyring using a cow hitch knot. Click here for a step-by-step guide on tying cow hitch knots!
  • CleverTip: You can tape the keyring to a table or sturdy surface to help keep your lizard still as you add your beads!
  • Step 2Download the template provided and follow the visual guide to add the beads and thread the string. Follow the red line for one half of the string and follow the blue line for the other half of the string.
  • Step 3After you have threaded the last bead, tie the ends of the string together with a double knot to secure your lizard. Trim any excess string. Now you are ready to show off your Bead Lizard Keyring!
