Wet Felting Tutorial: Wet Felt an Octopus Designed by Helen Russell




Have fun and get creative with this colorful and textural project for wet felting an octopus.
This delightful idea for a wet felted octopus was created by Living Felt BFF Helen Russell. Helen is a talented artist who works in a variety of mediums and she loves octopuses...who doesn't, right?

While felting along with one of our tutorials for making a heart dangler, Helen envisioned using similar methods to make an octopus.
She worked out a few different ideas until she came up with the process shown in the free tutorial linked below.
We are so grateful to Helen for sharing this project with us, and for allowing us to share it with you!

Felt along with Marie as she wet felts an octopus in the video tutorial. If you would like to wet felt an octopus all your own, this tutorial is for you! If you are a beginner wet felter and have not wet felted over a resist before, we suggest watching the Wet Felted Heart Dangler tutorial that inspired this project, and you can see that here!

And try one of our beginner wet felting over a resist videos like this one: Wet Felting Tutorial: Wet Felting Hurricane Candle Holders
With those wet felting fundamentals, you can felt your own octopus as well!

Autumn is Calling!

Fall is when everything slows down just enough to savor. Cooler days, golden light, and familiar traditions make it the perfect season to gather, create, and enjoy the comfort of handmade moments.

Our Fall collection is filled with rich, cozy fibers and earthy color palettes for needle felting and wet felting projects. Think pumpkins and leaves, woodland animals, harvest decor, and small gifts made for family gatherings and shared traditions. Warm rusts, deep golds, mossy greens, soft browns, and creamy neutrals bring autumn right to your fingertips. Set the table, light a candle, and let the wool work its magic. Fall felting is about warmth, connection, and making memories that feel as good as they look.
