Stitch a spotted gecko with this DIY embroidery craft kit! Spotted geckos, or leopard geckos, are ground-dwelling creatures native to the deserts of Asia. They are unique in that they have moveable eyelids (unlike most geckos) and they detach their tails to escape predators. But don't worry—the tail regrows over time.
This kit was created to help you show your love of reptiles while making an old garment or hat feel brand new and keep it out of the landfill. After all, you can’t get rid of it, it’s got a hand-embroidered patch on it!
When you've completed the kit, you'll have a hand-crafted spotted gecko patch with a stick-on backing that will permanently adhere to any fabric surface.
