Assembling the Legs This step invites your creativity to shine. Begin rolling the strips, alternating between the pink and blue colors. This alternating pattern adds a touch of whimsy and vibrancy to the legs. The accompanying visual guide will assist you in creating this lively arrangement.

Step 5

Attaching the Legs Using transparent glue tape, carefully affix the rolled legs to the underside of the octopus. This technique imparts a delightful three-dimensional quality to the octopus.

Step 6

Crafting the Eyes For the eyes, select a Doodledash Silver Card. Fold the card and cut out two oval shapes. These will serve as the eyes of our colorful octopus creation.

Step 7

Adding the Final Touches With the eyes prepared, it's time to breathe life into our octopus. Apply glue to the back of the silver ovals and affix them onto the body of the octopus. This step introduces a charming and expressive element to our craft. And there you have it - your very own Mr. Colorful Octopus, crafted with care and creativity.
