Materials and tools needed:
Colored boat socks, white boat socks, black beads, rose red non-woven fabric, pp cotton, scissors, needle and thread, water-erasable pen, and cloth glue.
Step method:
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: Sew 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 color 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 cloth with the wrong side outside, sew it flat, and turn it over to the front side.
Step 6: Fill it with pp cotton and then sew it back to the mouth.
Step 7: Follow the same steps to make the eight legs of the octopus.
Step 8: Sew the inner sides of the eight legs to the bottom of the octopus one by one.
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 the position of one eye, and then thread another bead through the position of the other eye. Thread it back and tie it.
Step 11: When sewing the eyes, pull the needle and thread slightly tight, so that the two eyes are recessed into the head. The face has a sense of contour.
Step 12: Make an oval shape of rose red non-woven fabric 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.
