Plush Octopus Lamp, Create Via Needle Felting Wool
This is a simple project. A little wool batting needle felted around a led light string to make a cute little lamp. It takes time and attention to detail, but no expensive tools or special skills.
Supplies
Micro LED light string
Wool batting
Felting needles
Foam ( felting surface)
Craft wire
Wool batting
Felting needles
Foam ( felting surface)
Craft wire
Create Frame
Bend the wires of the light string into 8 legs of octopus and reinforce with wire.
Wrap Arms
Wrap all 8 arms individually with batting.
Create the Body
I first created flat pieces then tacked the part first into a loop before attaching to body then the second was attached on top
Smooth and Refine Shape
Continue to shape little by little.
Cover Shape
Fill out the shape of the legs and attach color to the surface of the top of limbs.
Refine Shape
Make sure all surface is covered. Correct any flaws by continuing to add little bits of color and white as needed. Smooth the surface as you go.
Apply Details
Starting with the whites, I then felted the eyes.
