How to complete this tutorial step by step?

Materials:

To make a lizard, you need:

- round beads with large holes, also called Pony Beads

- scoubidou strands

- a colored carabiner

- a pair of scissors

- tape or masking tape

Step 1:

To start, choose the color of your scoubidou thread.

Make a knot to attach the thread to the carabiner.

To make this knot:

- fold the scoubidou thread in two equal parts

- pass the loop through the carabiner

- pass the two ends of the thread through the loop and pull

Step 2:

Attach the carabiner with tape, masking tape, or washi tape so that your work stays attached during the activity.

To start, thread a green bead onto the left thread. Then pass the right thread through the bead and pull both threads at the same time to finish.

Step 3:

Continue with two green beads on the left thread, pass the right thread through both beads, then pull.

Step 4:

Thread one blue bead, one green bead, and a third green bead onto the left thread.
Pass the right thread through all three beads, then pull both threads at the same time.

Step 5:

To finish the head, thread two green beads onto the left thread, pass the right thread through both beads, then pull both threads at the same time.

Step 6:

For the legs, thread 5 beads onto the left thread: 2 green, 3 pink.

Pass the left thread (the same thread you just threaded the beads onto) through only the two green beads, then pull on the thread.

Do the same on the right thread to create the second leg.

Step 7:

Repeat as at the beginning of the tutorial for the rest of the body: thread the beads onto the left thread, pass the right thread through the beads, then pull both threads at the same time.

The colors to use to finish the body are in the following order:

- 1 green bead / 1 blue bead / 1 green bead

- 1 green bead / 2 blue beads / 1 green bead

- 1 green bead / 1 blue bead / 1 green bead

Step 8:

Then make the two back legs using the same method as in step 6.

Step 9:

Thread 2 green beads onto the left thread, pass the right thread through both beads and pull.

Step 10:

To finish the body of the lizard, thread 6 green beads in a row, always using the technique of passing a bead onto the left thread, passing the right thread through the bead, and pulling.
