Who says reptiles can’t be cute? Whether or not you’re a fan of these scaly critters in real life, this roundup of shopping picks and crafts shows you just how kawaii and fascinating they can be.
Jot down your important notes on this goofy bearded dragon memo pad that’s sure to make you smile as you check everything on your list. SnailMaileryShop (US) has even more reptile-themed stationery, from gecko stickers to frog letter sets.
Keep your head covered and your outfit cool with a crocodile corduroy cap from TofuTigerStudio (US). It comes with a little embroidered croc and four base color options for the hat. Don’t forget to check out the rest of their Etsy shop for more reptile-themed apparel, including chameleon socks and plesiosaurus shirts.
If you’re a gacha addict and a wooper looper lover, try your luck with MooncakeMaki’s (HK) axolotl enamel pins. There are lots of equally adorable designs that you could possibly get, with one even wearing a frog hoodie if you want double reptiles.
For something craftier but with a little less DIY and a little more gacha, Oshoppu (UK) offers the We Are Reptiles knitted plush with one random plush per capsule. You could get a chameleon, lizard, iguana, frilled lizard, or gecko—or try to collect them all.
If you’d like to make your own cute reptiles, Hello Origami shows you how to fold a jumping turtle or two; maybe even four if you’d like to make them ninja turtles. They make great little companions for your desk or shelf, or even toys for your cat.
All you need for this DIY from Craft&Create are a couple of pipe cleaners in your choice of color and two small black beads for eyes, and voila—you have your own little pipe cleaner lizard, no glue needed!
If you want to do some more work with pipe cleaners, this DIY from luci.applepie uses an aluminum foil base, a handful of craft tools, and layering to come up with a beautifully patterned snake.
And if you’re a reptile owner yourself with snake or lizard sheds that you’ve kept over time, you may want to repurpose them into a gorgeous, unique piece of jewelry. Snake Discovery’s tutorial guides you on how to do this step by step, so you can always carry a part of them wherever you go.
