- Let's make a Kraken coming through a porthole together! I was inspired by some octopus-arm lights I saw online to make this cryptid-inspired lamp hook. Let's turn a pool noodle into a kick-ass Kraken tentacle!

I love your content. Thank you for fun stuff that isn't Hella expensive and something you would want in your house! Inspiration is flowing lol
This is the best compliment ever! When I started my channel, I just knew that there had to be other people who wanted to craft things that both cheap AND good! I'm so glad you found me. Thanks for getting it!!! ❤️
That is by far the easiest way I've seen to make a tentacle. Planning on using this to make horns for cosplay. Truly a simplistic way of achieving excellent results
Thanks, Brian! Depending on how big you want your horns to be, instead of a pool noodle you can get foam hair rollers that are like smaller pool noodles already wired on the inside. I used them in my spooky plant vid. Got 'em at Dollar Tree 🇨🇦.
Nicey-nice!
Thanks for sharing!!!
I'd give this 8 tentacles up if i could. 🐙 Doesnt need complex tools and materials, and so creative and fun. Love it!
That needs to go in the spare bathroom toleit for when guests come over !!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious! 🤣
The shape of your tentacle is absolutely perfect. I love this entire project and that you made it accessible and cheap. When you said $7 was too much it made me feel so seen and not alone 😂 I'm poor and that's a lot for bolts!
Right!?! When you have a limited budget, you've got to make it count - and $7 was a waste when I could make bolt heads with clay I already had. Not ALL of my projects are this cheap - but I do try to make my spending count! Thanks for watching and I'm so glad you feel seen. It really makes me feel proud of the work I'm doing here!
You have captured the likeness of my cousin Carl beautifully.
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques!
Carl the Kraken? I like it!
This needs to go in our Steampunk set!!! Plus...I have lots of pool noodles, lol. Awesome job!
Ive always been fond of neon green and dark purple... 💜💚
Loved it! The purple colour also reminded me about "Day of The Tentacle" 🤩
Ha! I had to look it up. We were never allowed video games as kids - I missed out on so much! 😜🐙
@@janesawyermakes Yes, you really missed out on this one, but I think this is actually better as an adult 😁
OMG I just discovered your channel and LOVE it! As a single mom who raises my kids to appreciate art and all kinds of creative arts your channel is a MUST WATCH!!! You explain the process in easy to follow steps and your humor really shines through..... Basically you are awesome! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU AND ALL WHO ARE READING THIS!!!
Happy Mother's Day to you too and thanks for your kind words! I think everybody should learn to build things with their own hands - whether through art, cooking, engineering, construction, or a mix of them all ❤️
the bright neon colours remind me of the videogame "day of the tentacle"
I would love to know what a "wall of weirdness" looks like!
That's really fantastic. I'd like to make one of my own some day.
Fabulous! Just sent this to my best friend on the Ultimate World Cruise...would be awesome in their cabin bathroom and bring home as keepsake from their trip! 🎉
Thanks for sharing!
You're videos make me want to start doing tutorials again. Thank you for helping with my creative block
That's great! Glad I could help! 🙂
This is bloody incredible. I can't say how much I love this. Fhtagn!!
Thanks, Erin!
I thing I going to do is test a lot of clay from trying out on channel to see turn out well... PS have a wonderful Artistic day..
I definitely want to try this for Halloween
I love it! Very unique and a little spooky. I was thinking, i have a bit of extra plexiglass in the garage. I could put that around the inside of the porthole in a jagged fashion to look like it broke through the window.
Great idea!
I've only found your channel yesterday and you've already hopped into the category of creators whose videos I give a "like" before I've even watched them. And now please excuse me, I'm busy binge watching your stuff... ☺
AW, You're the best! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Truly amazing ❤ wow and woe
I love your idea thank you. This would work in our bathroom.
I really appreciate all the extraordinary crafts. Keep being unique!
Thank you! Cheers!
Haven't thought of using fencing wire 🤔 . Need to remember that for the future. I love how it turned out ^^. Hope it holds up to many poweroutages
Thank you Jane for such a wonderful make 😊
My pleasure! 😄
I love when people use underpainting ❤ everything looks so much better with an underpainting. 😍🔥
It really makes the colours glow, doesn't it?!? 😊
@@janesawyermakes very much! 😍
Great build - very creative.
Making one 💯and for the portal I’ll cut some plexiglass to make it like the squid broke down he window. Thank you for your amazing idea. You’re a great artist. Subscribe instantly ❤❤
Thanks for the sub! I think a broken plexi window would look great!
My 2 yr old grandson is obsessed with pickles, he loooooves them things lol. I am going to make him a giant pickle using a pool noodle 😂😂
Sounds awesome!
I use googly eyes for bolts in cosplay! It's lightweight and cheap
Clever!
And for smaller rivets (I think it's called "rivets" but am not completely sure as I'm no native English speaker) one can use lentils... the stuff you put in soup, you know... 😁 They are not as perfectly shaped as googly eyes but I've used them for some Steampunk projects and it was fine. It all depends on the project. 😊
This is great! And this video should have way more likes! I love the way it turned out!
That's really kind of you. 😊 Thanks for watching!
The fence wire actually gives it the look of tendons/muscles or something. Interesting.
Good eye! I think what you're noticing is more from how I carved the noodle. Unfortunately I lost that "muscley" look after the paper clay. 😥
That sucker is sweeeeeeet!
I see what you did there!
Yes, I’m also very interested in what type of clay did you use. In the past I primarily use baked clays , but I’m interested in finding out more about air drying clays and found this project very inspiring.
There's so many different types of air dry clays, but this one I used is paper-based. All the paper fibres help to reduce shrinking (and thereby cracking) when it dries, which is really good for this type of application.
GREAT job man!! THNX 4 sharin' this!
Thanks for watchin' and taking the time to comment! Appreciate ya!
Wow very cool. I'm going to do a few of these..
RUclips algorithm keeping your channel secret from me!!! Fixing that immediately. Also, I am gonna make my bathroom ocean themed and this is a great idea.
I'm glad you found me! I'm getting a lot of new friends from this video, so I think the algorithm gods are finally smiling on me!
WOW, THIS IS SO COOL!
Thanks Violet!
it looks great
Thanks!
It looks amazing but you need to weather that lantern it just looks cheap and plasticy in comparison.
Great suggestion!
This is great!
@@djweso Thanks for watching! 🐙
Freaking awesome!
Thanks, Harris!
Very impressed. I don’t know how this popped into my stream but I am very glad I watched it. I subscribed too 😊
Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!
Hell yeah
Awesome.
Thanks, Patty! ☺️
I really really love it! Great work! ❤
Thanks, Tiger Lilly! 😊
@@janesawyermakes i also loved your video with the creepy plants! I wanna try the walnut-head-hack very soon 😁 greetings from Germany
@@tigerlillyonfire6856 That's great! Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦❤️
That's really neat and very creative! I'm going to have to check out some of your other videos. 😊
Appreciate it! 👍
This is absolute brilliance! I love the use of all your multi materials, and would never have thought to use some of that in conjuction with each other! We Canadians CAN be creative! Not just loonies and Beaver Tails! 😂 YAY! Found your channel by accident....Totally Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub, eh! I appreciate the kind words - it's really encouraging! 🇨🇦❤️😊
@janesawyermakes I have a "maker" room ( I want to say craft, but the guy in me, just can't) full of special tools, 3d printers, airbrush, hot foam cutter, vinyl cutter....and what you do with so minimal is so amazing. Please keep up the amazing work, and all you are "aboot" to do, eh? 😁
@@stu3379 I get "Maker" room! I grew up in a time when the word "craft" was a reductive term and referred mostly to 'feminine' pursuits! I think that perception is changing (Especially with guys like @BlackMagicCraftOfficial owning their craftiness) but old habits die hard and I often just refer to my workspace as my "shop" because "studio" feels too fancy and "craft room" doesn't seem right either.
@@janesawyermakes you refer to it any way you like, I'm not offended. I say craft and friends look at me weird....but i say maker, and that just confuses them! Now off to Michaels to see whats on clearance! 😂
I need to try this out 😯
Do it! What's the worst that could happen!?! 🤪🦑
I love this!!❤😊
Awesome… I was thinking I was going to do an octopus soon… so Tks for the inspiration! You are awesome!
Thanks! I'm hooked - I think I might have an octopus- legged side table in my future!
Jane - you are an inspiration! I bet your kids loved it when they saw how you solved a problem so creatively. I would never have thought of adding the DAS clay, what a brilliant idea. It gets rid of those sharp edges that are left by the paper underneath. I am so impressed. Thank you from London, England. You have made one Art teacher really smile!
I'm pretty sure my kids think ALL moms have a giant hoarde of art and craft supplies that their kids can borrow on a whim! 😜 But yes, we love art as a way of teaching creative problem solving here! Thanks for your kind words - with love from cottage country Ontario, Canada! ❤️
This is acc so cool what i hope this goes viral frfr
I also hope this goes viral, lol! Thanks for your kind words!! 🙏
When you had the bright colors, it looked like “Day of the tentacle”.
Somebody else said that too!
I am so glad to have found your channel, Jane! You are so inspiring.
I'm glad you found me too! Thanks for your kind words! 😊
You are amazing, I subscribed!
Welcome!
Awesome
Thanks, Judith!
Love this! I am trying to figure out the best way to make these weather proof to hang towels and bathing suits on the shed wall at the lake!
The only thing that I think would work would be to coat them in epoxy resin designed for boat making (like Total Boat). That said, I've never tried it myself. Good luck!
Love the method for building up the arm! And it's an arm, with suckers to the end. Only thing I'd change for myself is cephalopod colouration - the only link is they all have reds!
I have to do this for sure you got a new subscriber :)
Awesome! Thanks for being here!
Yea 7 bucks for a few bolts is nutz! lol
I see what you did there! 😉
I just pulled some pool noodles out if the shed and said i needed to find a way to upcycle them, i think i might have a few tentacles soon lol
I think a side-table with tentacle legs would be awesome: and if you've already got a few noodles... 😜
Well done!
You most likely know, but just in case you don’t I use a pasta maker to flatten and roll out my clay. Might help you.
This particular clay would stick like crazy to a pasta maker. I use a little wooden pasta rolling pin and it works great! 😊
Love this project! Great job!
Thanks for watching, Venus! 🧛♀️
This looks amazing!! Hi from NB :) New subscriber.
Greetings from central Ontario!
So cool! I love it and Id make one, but one of my kids has that phobia about holes, and she'd lose her mind! Haha
Oh no! Poor kiddo. Better skip this one! 😊
I have pinned several of those expensive octopus lamps and was looking for ideas on how I could recreate them. You have now made that possible. Thank you!
@@miainsel513 Love that! If you make one, send me a pic! It would make my freakin' day!
That is a kraken job.
Goddangit I'm so mad I didn't think if this one! 😆🤣I freakin' love a pun! 😂
@@janesawyermakes What you made was brilliant, it was so creative.
@@slytheringingerwitch thanks so much!
Pretty sure I have everything I need for this project on hand. Including a lantern I’ve been wanting to hang in my bedroom. 🧐😗
Perfect! No excuses! 😜
Just amazing. Great job. But I kept getting distracted by that beautiful painting. It goes really well next to the tentacle. Did you make that as well?
Thank you! Yes 😊
Excellent idea! I wonder... does this become outdoor proof? I want to build some decor for the garden and that will get wet...
You could try coating it in epoxy resin and it might last you a few years outdoors, depending on how severe your weather is. I'd do some testing first, though!
$7????? 🤣🤣
This is such a cool project and I can’t believe you’re able to make such awesome stuff for so cheap 🤯🤯🤯
I'm in incurable miser with a giant hoard of junk! 🤪
The story of the kracken, may have it's origins because of the giant squid. Every once in a while these monsters die and float up to the surface. Blue whales find them quite tasty, as the hunt them in the deep ocean.
The battle between a blue whale and a giant squid must be absolutely epic!!!
Can you elaborate on the trick you did with the "primer" to prevent bleed thru with the masking tape? How does spreading paint on the tape prevent leaking paint?
I put down a bit of base coat so if any leaks through, you can't tell. When I let that dry, it seals the tape so the next layer CAN'T leak. When the final layer is still wet I can pull off the tape. With this method I usually get a really clean, sharp tape-pull. Works when painting walls and trim too!
🖤
😊😊😊
Can’t wait to try this out! What gauge is the wire you used?
I believe it's about 14 gauge - but gauge isn't really important. You want it to be firm - a bit tough to bend. Fencing wire is a good choice. 🙂
Please wear a respirator when sanding MDF. 😁
I have dust extraction on the end of my sander. But yes, this is a good tip!
@@janesawyermakes Schweet! I didn't see that.😁 I jerry rig mine with duct tape.
@@kurtkyre if it works, it work! 😜
Hi Jane - maybe I missed it, but what gauge wire did you use? I am such a fan of your content!
I'm not sure what gauge it is. It's just sold as "fencing wire" at my hardware store. It's pretty firm stuff.
Scratch that, just looked it up: it's 14 ga
@@janesawyermakes you rock! Thank you so much!
What's number 3? Do I even Want to know?
You don't want to know!!!! 🤪
What clay do you use
DAS brand air-dry clay.
@@janesawyermakes thank you
Whats Spakle? Im in Uk never hear if it. Bx
It's a hole or crack filler , like you would use on walls or ceiling. Usually comes in a little container or tube.
Its called so many different things, it's confusing! In Canada it's also sold as joint compound, drywall compound, wall patch, hole filler, drywall mud, Polyfilla.
Ahhh that makes sense thank you. Bx
I want your dracula shirt please
I got it during Halloween in the men's section of a Canadian discount store called Giant Tiger. 🧛
