🖌️ How to Make the Three Bear Bookmarks

Step 1: Prepare the template patterns by printing and cutting them out neatly. The base (body) patterns for all 3 bookmarks are the same.

Step 2: Let’s craft the panda bookmark, it’s a bit tricky but the 2 other bookmarks are very easy. Use grey and white craft papers for the panda bookmark.

Step 3: Trace the base pattern of the panda from white paper and trace the rest of the patterns from grey or black colored craft paper. Cut out the traced papers nicely.

Step 4: Attach the grey paper cutout with the paw outline on the bottom part of the base cutout. Make sure to match the edges of both patterns.

Step 5: Attach the other strip on the top side of the body but below the head part of the base.

Step 6: Attach the hands by applying a drop of glue on the top side only; keep the rest of the hands glue-free.

Step 7: Attach the ear parts and the 2 circle cutouts on the eye areas of the head.

Step 8: Use a gel pen to draw the eyes on the grey circles. Also draw the nose and mouth of the panda.

Step 9: Craft the grizzly bear and the polar bear bookmarks similarly.
