AJ Quilts has an awesome panda quilt-a-long currently going! She’s only on week 2, so you have plenty of time to catch up! I think after finals week is over (the last one of my undergraduate career! YAY!), I’ll join in.

This site has quite a few links to DIY instructions for this and other mini creatures. They’d make a great rainy spring afternoon craft project!

Over at Blackpio.com they’ve posted a few adorable papercrafts called FlipZOO. They were made to bring awareness about our impact on the environment, so not only are they cute – they’re also spreading a good message!

Download the set in .pdf format here for free!

They also offer these cute little pins/badges on Etsy. Set of 10 for $25.00.

Panda Cookie Tutorial

Katherine sent in a link to her panda cookie tutorial just in time for Valentine’s Day! I’ll definitely be trying her method of transfering the panda image to the cookies. I didn’t even know Foodwriters existed until her email.

Check out the tutorial on her Flickr account.

Thanks again for sending this in, Katerine!

One Felting Needle

Want to make your own panda charms from clay? Even if you haven’t thought about it, this tutorial by Oborochann makes it look so easy you’ll probably want to give it a try!

Since the tutorial is one VERY long photo, I’ve put it behind the cut. See you on the other side!

Paper Craft Olympic Pandas

Julie — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 06:01:38 +0000

These adorable Olympic panda paper crafts are available free from the original source, cardmodel.cn, or you can download them below from Perfect Pandas. Unfortunately, the instructions are in Chinese, so you’ll have to follow along with the pictures. Luckily, there are a ton of photos to follow along with so you should be fine! They’re extremely intricate, so it will probably takes hours upon hours to complete, but look how cute they are!

Papercut Panda

I found these cute little panda cut-outs at CraftCreations.com. You can download it there, or I’ve uploaded a copy to my site here, as well.

It’s an adorable pattern that doesn’t look too intricate or complicated. It would make a lovely card or an embellishment for a scrapbook page. I think I’m going to give it a try later this week! Let me know how it works out for you if you try it.
