How to make an octopus pillow

Gather your supplies.

Download your octopus printable here: http://go.brit.co/29zasdI. Then, cut out shapes from printable.

Trace onto fabric.

Cut out 16 tentacle shapes and four head shapes.

Take two of the tentacle shapes and sew them together, leaving an opening. Sew together seven more tentacles.

Sew the sides of the head pieces together, leaving a hole at the bottom.

Reverse all the fabric and add stuffing in the head and the tentacles.

Hand sew the holes closed.

Arrange all the tentacles in a circle and sew them together. Sew the head to the tentacles.

Draw a smiley face on your little octopus.

Glue pom poms on the undersides of the tentacles.

Say hello to your eight-legged friend!

PSA: These octopus legs can pose a choking hazard to little ones so be careful with this one around your mini-me's.
