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!
