"When your lizard is all painted and he's ready, ready for his face, ideally he will be dry when you're doing this, but just in case he's not that's OK to the glue will still work. What we're going to use are some sequins and some googlie eyes to give him some character. You can paint them on if you wanted to, but if you have the googlie eyes and the sequins that makes it a little bit more fun. So, what we'll do is we'll add a couple pieces underneath with a dot of glue. I want to find kind of a flat surface for those eyes and then we'll add the googlie part of them with another dot of glue. If they don't stay it's OK. We're going turn them over to dry, so sometimes they slip a little bit on the surface; perfect. Then maybe he needs a little bit of a nose and a lizard tongue. So, we'll give him a nose with a small; small sequins. You could do a tongue out of construction paper or a pipe cleaner or you can leave him just as he is."
