PDF beading pattern · 3D beaded panda charm with bamboo stem · Beginner · Step-by-step diagrams · Instant download — no physical item shipped
The bamboo is what makes it. A panda on its own is a black-and-white sphere; a panda clutching a green bamboo stem is a scene, and it's the detail that makes people ask where you got it.
The stem is a separate small piece worked flat and attached across the body, so you get two patterns in one file — and once you've made the bamboo you can put it on anything.
The panda itself is beginner-level 3D beadwork: a white body with black ear patches, black eye patches, black arms and legs, worked in the round with no wire, no glue and no stuffing. The beadwork holds its own shape, so it stands up and keeps its form.
Three colours, an evening's work, and it clips onto a keyring.
