Materials used

Start drawing horizontal lines in a circle inside the circle.

Step 2

Fill the entire circle with dashes.

Step 3

Use scissors to cut out the circle.

Step 4

The tentacles

Draw a small circle on the blue cardboard and eight tentacles around that circle as shown in the picture.

Glue the tentacles onto the yellow circle.

Make sure the small blue circle is in the middle of the yellow circle.

Step 10

Start drawing white circles on the tentacles.

Step 11

Make sure you don’t miss a single tentacle.

Step 12

Use a black marker and draw each white circle on the tentacle.

Step 13

Head

Take two blue rectangles and fold them in half.

Step 14

Cut two vase-like shapes.

Step 15

Open the vase shapes and fold the ends over.

Step 16

Apply a little glue to the folded ends and stick them to the punched blue circle.

Step 17

Repeat this step with the remaining vase shape, then glue them together at the top.

Step 18

Comb

Take a small piece of blue cardboard, fold it in half and use scissors to make a “comb”.

We will use this comb as an octopus’s hair. We know that octopuses don’t have hair, but this will make the octopus look cool and interesting.

Step 19

Fold it in half, then glue the feathers to the octopus head.

Step 20

The mouth

Draw a smile with black eyeliner.

Step 21

Eyes

Draw two eyes.

Step 22

Use scissors to cut out the eyes.

Step 23

Attach the eyes to the octopus’ head. We placed them far apart, but you can place them closer together if you want.

Step 24

All has been done!

Now start turning it around. Awesome!
