You will need:

  • Large Pom Pom
  • 4 Jumbo Pipecleaners
  • Google Eyes
  • Black Funky Foam
  • Double Sided Tape
  • PVA glue

Instructions:

  1. Pairing off the pipecleaners, twist one around the centre of another.
  2. Repeat this process with the pipecleaners until you have a star shape. These will form the tentacles for your octopus.
  3. Stick the google eyes to the pom pom, then cut out a small strip of funky foam and stick onto pom pom using PVA glue to make the mouth.
  4. Take a strip of double sided tape, place onto the bottom of your pom pom and stick it onto the centre of your wrapped pipecleaners.
  5. Finally, bend the octopus’ tentacles into shape.
