You will need:

Here's how:
1. Cut out the basic shape for your octupus using sharp scissors.
2. Working on a protected surface, paint shape bright blue; let dry. Repeat.
3. With a pencil, draw in tentacles, eyes, and mouth on pattern. Using small artist's brush, paint octopus shape green; outline with a black marking pen.
4. Using white paint and small artist's brush and acrylic crafts paint, paint eyes white; let dry. Add black pupils and spots with marking pen.
5. Once completely dry, apply two coats of varnish - allowing drying time between coats.
