Materials
Craft Materials
- 1 piece Plastic bottle Rinsed and dried
- 1 piece White cardstock or paint For coating the bottle
- 1 sheet Black foam For panda features
- 1 skein Rainbow yarn For the panda mane
- 5 pieces Pink or blue gems For decoration
- 1 bottle Glue For assembly
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by rinsing and drying the plastic bottle thoroughly. This ensures that any residue is removed. You can cut the bottle to your desired height or choose to cover it with white cardstock or paint for a cleaner look.
Creating the Panda Face
- Cut out specific shapes from the black foam to craft the panda face, including circles for the ears and nose. Use cardstock to create eyes for a striking contrast. Assemble these features and securely glue them onto the bottle.
Adding the Rainbow Mane
- Using colorful yarn, create a lively mane around the panda's head, ensuring it effectively covers the rim of the bottle to transition nicely to the panda features.
Embellishing with Gems
- Take the pink or blue gems and glue them onto the panda's body or around the rim of the cup, letting your creativity guide the placement.
Final Touch and Usage
- Allow everything to dry completely. Once the glue has set, fill the cup with your favorite pencils to elevate your workspace or give it as a unique gift.

Tips & Notes:
Ensure the bottle is completely dry before gluing. If the yarn comes loose, apply more glue. For gems that don’t stick, reapply glue and allow it to dry fully.
