Quadropus
- Total Time Needed:

Got a single glove and no hope of finding its match? Some easy sewing will transform it into a four-legged octopus.
- Materials
-
- Single glove
- Needle and thread
- Dry rice
- Hot glue
- Large pom-pom
- Buttons
- Wire
- Ribbon
- Felt
- Instructions
-
-
First, tuck the thumb inside the glove and use a needle and thread (an embroidery needle works fine) to sew it shut. Fill the glove with dry rice, then tuck the cuff inside.
-
Stitch all along the cuff's edge, then pull the thread tightly to close the top. Knot the thread.
-
Sew or hot-glue a large pom-pom to the top of the glove. At the base of the quadropus -- where the glove's fingers attach to the palm -- pinch the sides together and sew a few stitches to hold them, as shown. This will help make the body rounder. -
To make the tentacles, attach buttons to the undersides of the four fingers with hot glue. Sew or hot-glue on button eyes and a felt mouth. Make earrings by threading stacks of buttons onto pieces of wire; tie ribbon around the pom-pom for a head scarf, or add a felt brim to the pom-pom for a hat.
