Bing Dwen Dwen - Origami Panda | Paper & Card - CleverPatch

Step 1Place a black piece of origami paper coloured side down and on an angle so it is a diamond shape. Fold and unfold the bottom point to the top point and then do the same with the left point to the right point.
Step 2Fold the left and right points in to the centre line.
Step 3Fold and unfold the top and bottom points to the centre line.
Step 4Flip the paper over and fold the top point down to the first horizontal crease.
Step 5Fold the top edge of the paper down so it sits approximately 1-1.5cm above the bottom crease as shown.
Step 6Fold the bottom point up to the horizontal crease.
Step 7Unfold the top flap and place a glue dot underneath, then press the flap down so it is now held in position. Unfold the bottom point and place a glue dot underneath then press back down to hold in place.
Step 8Use a permanent pen to draw on the eye patches, nose and mouth. Use glue dots to attach 2 wiggle eyes in place over each of the drawn eye patches.
Step 9Take a piece of rainbow florist wire and bend into a halo shape, making sure it’s big enough to go around the panda’s face. Flatten the top of the halo out and slide the top corners up and into the ear flaps. Carefully place a glue dot inside and press the ears down onto the wire to hold it in place.
Step 10Take a blue piece of origami paper and place coloured side down on the desk. Place the origami panda on top and trace around it leaving a 5mm border in between. Cut out carefully with scissors. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
Step 11Lay the blue shape coloured side up and place a giant popstick running vertically down the centre as shown. Attach using glue dots.
Step 12Place the panda on top of the blue paper and popstick, sticking it in place using glue dots. Bing Dwen Dwen is now complete including the full body “shell” made of ice and bright colourful halo! Use the popstick to wave Bing Dwen Dwen in the air as you cheer on the athletes!
