Make cute octopus dolls out of socks and form an octopus family!
Materials and tools required:
Colored boat socks, white boat socks, black beads, rose red non-woven fabric, pp cotton, scissors, needle and thread, erasable pen, and glue for cloth.
Handmade DIY steps:
Step 1:
Cut the two colored socks as shown in the picture. You can increase or decrease the size according to your own preferences to control the size of the octopus.
Step 2:
Stitch a circle along the edge of the head sock, and then pass the needle and thread through the knot at the end of the thread.
Step 3:
Insert the filled PP cotton, then tighten the needle and thread, shrink and sew, and rub your hands to make the head round.
Step 4:
Cut the white socks into square pieces of fabric according to the pattern of colored socks, and then cut them into pieces as shown in the picture, eight pieces each for white and color.
Step 5:
Put the white colored fabric with the wrong side outside, sew it flat in a circle, and turn it over to the front side.
Step 6:
Fill it with pp cotton and sew it back.
Step 7:
Follow the same steps to make the eight legs of the octopus.
Step 8:
Sew the inside of the eight legs one by one to the bottom of the octopuss body.
Step 9:
Use one stitch up and one down to sew the middle part of the octopus leg to the body to make the leg fit more closely with the body.
Step 10:
Draw the position of the eyes on the head with a water-soluble pen. First use a needle and thread to pass a black bead through one eye position, then thread another bead through it, pass it back through the other eye position, and tie a knot.
Step 11:
When sewing the eyes, pull the needle and thread a little tighter so that the eyes are recessed into the head to give the face a sense of contour.
Step 12:
Cut the rose red non-woven fabric into an oval shape and stick it to the face with glue to make blush.
Step 13:
Add a headdress. Finished, the headdress can be made into ahat, bow, or flower according to your own preferences ~~Anything is fine. I made this one out of stocking lace.
Tips:
You can also choose mid-calf socks, in which case one colorful sock is enough. When filling the head with cotton, it is best to stuff the pp cotton into the socks at once, so that the head will be rounder.
