You Will Need (9 things)

  • Green Felt
  • Blue Felt
  • White Felt
  • Black Felt
  • Patterned Cotton
  • Stuffing
  • Sewing Needle
  • Various colors of Cotton Thread
  • Sequins (optional)

Steps (8 steps, 300 minutes)

  1. 1

    Draw and cut out four of the shape in your chosen fabric. I made mine out of "pirate green" acrylic felt. Be aware my plushie was hand sewn, but I'm sure you could do it with a sewing machine.

  2. 2

    Add facial details to one of the panels. Make sure you use the pointy end as the top. This is what I used for my eyes.

  3. 3

    This is the shape I used for the mouth.

  4. 4

    Sew the curved sides to one another, making a dome shape. Don't sew the straight sides AT ALL right now.

  5. 5

    Cut out a circle shape that will fit the bottom of your dome. I pretty much improvised this, which is why the bottom looks as rough as it does. Leave a space to put in stuffing.

  6. 6

    Cut out sixteen of the following shapes. I did mine in a combination of patterned cotton fabric and blue felt. Add any details (such as fabric or sequins for your octopus' suckers) now. Sew one end and both sides then stuff.

  7. 7

    Attach the legs to the bottom of your octopus' body.

  8. 8

    Stuff your octopus' body and sew up the gap. You have a brand new octopus!
