"There are quite a few materials needed for this project, but you'll find that most of them you probably have in your house already. We're going to need pipe cleaners. We're also going to need newspaper and newspaper strips. We're going to use a cheese cloth which can be found at your hardware store. Sometimes, not so much your arts supply store, but a hardware store is the best place to find that. We're also going to need a bucket for mixing your paper mache. For paper mache I like to use salt, flour and some water. For decorating our lizard we're going to use acrylic paint, some tempera glitter paint and we'll also be using some sequins and some googlie eyes. Most of these things you can find either in your house like the flour, the salt, water, newspaper. Pipe cleaners, paints, sequins, and things like that you can find at your art supply store. You'll also want to have some water handy so that you can wash out your brushes, some glue and possibly some scissors."
