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.

Micro LED light string
Wool batting
Felting needles
Foam ( felting surface)
Craft wire

Bend the wires of the light string into 8 legs of octopus and reinforce with wire.

Wrap all 8 arms individually with batting.

I first created flat pieces then tacked the part first into a loop before attaching to body then the second was attached on top

Continue to shape little by little.

Fill out the shape of the legs and attach color to the surface of the top of limbs.

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.

Starting with the whites, I then felted the eyes.
