Make "Cuddles" the Octopus!

Hello! My name is Cuddles! I am soft and adorable and waiting to meet my new mommy! You can make me so quickly and simply by following this easy Instructable!

17-inch wooden cutting board

1/2 skein of any color yarn

pillow stuffing

scissors

rubber bands

felt

plastic eyes (optional)

glue

Wind your yarn lengthwise on the cutting board.

Cut along the top of the rolled yarn. Grab the top of the yarn in your hand. Tie a rubber band about 2 inches down. Cut a 4-inch piece of yarn. Tie the yarn to cover the rubber band.

Cut or pull off a 3-inch ball of the stuffing. Place inside and under the yarn against the rubber band.

Cover the stuffing with the yarn. Use a rubber band to tie under the stuffing forming the head. Cut a 4-inch piece of yarn. Tie it over the rubber band.

Cut through the bottom of the yarn. Divide the yarn in half.

Divide each half into 3 equal sections.

Braid each section forming 6 legs. Tie the bottom of each leg about 2-inches from the end with a rubber band. Cut 6 4-inch pieces of yarn. Tie the yarn pieces over the rubber bands to cover.

Snap the eye pieces together. If you prefer, you can cut felt eyes to use instead of the plastic eyes.

Cut a thin mouth out of the felt. Glue the eyes and the mouth onto the head.

So quickly you have an adorable octopus! Your child will love cuddling with it!!!
