Description

Instructions

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. 

   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. 

   This is the shape I used for the mouth.

4. 

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

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. 

   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. 

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

8. 

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