Q&A for How to Make a Beaded Lizard

A good way to solve this without doing much damage would be to shorten the tail by two beads.

The best beads to use are pony beads. Pony beads measure about 6 by 9 millimeters, and the hole is about 4 millimeters.

After you secure the string to the clasp, you could first tie one bead on the string. Then you would make the lizard as explained in the article, which would give it a slightly longer nose.

Yes, you can use thread instead of string or ribbon, but I would just make sure your thread is thick enough that it won't break.

Undo your previous row of beads and attach new ribbon. Tie as small of a knot as possible. As a general rule, I use one inch of material per bead.

The best beads to use for making this are horse beads. This is because they are thick and are durable, you can buy them at any craft store or bead store.

You can, but pony beads work best as they are the best size. For larger beads, you need more string/yarn/thread.
