Behold the eight-armed chaos nugget you’ll somehow bring to life… with wool and a whole lot of poking. This squishy little octopus has zero boundaries and the undeniable confidence of someone who thinks multitasking is a personality trait. Is it plotting something? Probably. Is it adorable? Absolutely.
In this beginner-friendly needle felting class, you’ll learn how to turn loose, fluffy wool into a delightfully round octopus with wiggly tentacles and just enough attitude to keep things interesting. We’ll cover shaping, attaching those noodly limbs, and bringing your little sea gremlin to life—no experience required. If you enjoy repetitive poking, a touch of whimsy, and creating something that looks both cute and mildly suspicious, you are exactly who this class is for.
What you’ll learn:
• The basics of needle felting (aka controlled poking)
• Shaping wool into a sturdy bunny form
