Directions:

First get the glue gun hot and ready!
Assemble the base of your panda bear friend by gluing THREE jumbo popsicle sticks and TWO mini popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {3 next to each other and the mini popsicle sticks across}
Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each panda bear friend you want to make today.
When dry enough, go ahead and squirt some white & black craft paint on the paper plate.
Take the foam paint brush and paint your newly made popsicle stick shape completely white.
Go ahead and also paint your TWO mini clothespins with the black craft paint, as well.
Set all the painted pieces aside.
Now grab all your sheets of cardstock paper and craft scissors.
Cut out a large circular head, ears, mouth, paws etc. for your panda bear.
Use the sharpie marker to draw on details.
Go ahead and adhere the wiggle eyes in place as well.
At this point in time, you should also cut out a long stick from the brown cardstock for the bamboo, as well as some small leaves from the green.
Now go ahead and glue ALL the paper pieces {but the bamboo piece!} to the painted popsicle stick shape from earlier. The head towards the top and the paw cutouts on the bottom.
This next step is CRUCIAL. Take your TWO painted mini clothespins and pinch them around the bamboo paper shape, to give the look like it’s hands/arms are holding it.
To finish off the Popsicle Stick Bamboo Holding Panda Bear craft, hot glue the combined piece you just made, to the center of the painted popsicle stick shape.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe a small bow or a little bit of glitter!}
Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
