Materials and tools.
For this octopus are used Alize Cotton Gold 180 yards (165 meters)/50 grams
(1.76 Oz). This is just 50% cotton, for the best quality I recommend 100%.
There are 4 main colors on example and 1 additional color for inner part.
• Main color red number 56 – 500 gr,
• white color number 55 – 100 gr,
• dark burgundy color 57 – 200 gr,
• burgundy color number 390 – 100 gr,
• beige color number 152 – 100 gr.
You can choose your style of this toy. VERY IMPORTANT. The pattern is suitable
only for crocheting in 2 colors!
• Hook 1.25 mm or 1,5 mm depends on hook brand and style of your
crocheting. I used Clover 1,5 mm. Choose the hook for yourself. Crocheting
should be very tight.
• Filler holofiber for stuffing. I recommend lightweight and high volume
filler, because the toy is big. Tweezers and wood sticks for stuffing.
Materials for painting.
• Acrylic paints and metallic acrylic paints for the body and eyes painting.
• Acrylic varnish.
• Brushes for painting, different sizes. Look instructions for decorating first.
• White polymer clay or suitable colors for making the eyes. You can take
only white color and tint it or you can take original others color of polymer
clay suitable with thread colors.
• And universal invisible glue, that not leave traces. I recommend Moment
Crystal by Henkel.
• Glass hemispheres for the eyes, diameter 20 mm. Or ready glass eyes with
octopus style picture.
• Needles for sewing the buttons. 2 buttons 20 mm in diameter.
• Silicone brush pen for sculpting and modeling.
• For desired use varnish for the sculpt details. I use UV gel polish and UV
lamp.
• PVA glue for priming.
