Before you start your panda craft, ensure you have all the necessary materials listed above.

Clear a comfortable workspace where your imagination can roam freely.

Step 2: Start Cutting Shapes for the Panda

You’ll need two large black ovals for the panda’s eyes, two smaller white and black circles for the inner part of the eyes, a black triangle for the panda’s nose, and black circle-shaped ears.

Additionally, cut out some black rectangle-shaped pieces for the panda’s arms and legs.

Step 3: Create the Panda’s Body

Turn one plate upside down—this will be used as the panda’s body.

Then, place the upside down plate on top of the right-side-up plate and glue them together. 

Step 4: Design Your Adorable Panda

Next, glue on the arms and legs to the lower, upside-down plate. Then glue the ears to the top plate. Now it’s time to give your panda some personality. Add all the facial features by gluing on your pre-cut pieces. Don’t forget to draw on the mouth!

While waiting for the glue to dry, add any unique details that make your panda look as captivating and imaginative as you’d like.
