Panda Sleeper Boots with Plush {Tutorial}
September 08, 2009I made this panda sleeper boots for my friend's birthday with a matching panda plush. It was quite difficult to look for a present for her because she basically owns everything already. And I cannot get her a boyfriend, so I made her a panda plush with the slipper boots so she will feel warm and cozy in winter still. She loves panda a lot and hopefully she will love my present as well.
For this project, you will need:
- A plain white pair of slipper boots (I got mine at La Vie En Rose)
- 6 pearly buttons
- Black fabric paint
- Stuffing
- Needle and thread
- I used black felt for the dark circles of the panda's eyes and stitch them using black thread.
- Then I secure 2 pearl buttons for the pupils.
- First, using a pencil and lightly outline the mouth on the panda's face.
- Using a black fabric paint and go over outline carefully.
- Stitch the nose made by cutting an oval out of felt.
- Stitch a black pom pom at the back for the panda's tail with thread.
- Sew a panda with felt holding a bamboo and place inside the boots
I think these are quite cute. Sorry, I didn't take pictures of the process, hopefully you guys are still able to follow through the steps. Have fun!

It's so hard to find a cute plain white pair of boots like yours
Thanks! Maybe you can try it on a regular pair of slippers or flats? I'm sure it will just be as cute :)
