This went a bit wrong for me as my frame was plastic but if you can find a metal one it should be okay! It makes for a cute animal themed anniversary present.

You Will Need (3 things)

Steps (7 steps, 180 minutes)

1
Take your purple clay and make the octopus head (just a flat circle), then roll out the 8 legs and flatten them.
Do the same with the green clay -

Stick the heads on the corners and add the legs underneath the heads.

Weave the legs around the frame as desired, I made little curly details with them. Make sure to leave space at the top for the heart

Make the heart and attach it by wrapping the legs around.

Cook in oven according to clay instructions. Your frame has to be metal or it will melt! This is what happened to me!
