Baked Octopus

I purchased KLS a ‘Makit Bakit’ kit for Christmas. Yes this is a kids item, but it’s fun so why not?

It’s just a metal frame that you fill with pellets of plastic and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Here’s a detail pre-bake:

So how did it turn out? Pretty good! The plastic is translucent, and the idea is you hang him up as a sun catcher:

KLS deviated from the instructions a bit by putting some specks of dark blue into his body. He’s like a blue-ringed octopus!

So thumbs up for Makit Bakit. If only they (still) made kits more to my liking…

    I always liked these. Maybe I’ll find one in my stocking next Christmas!

    I think the blue- ringed octopus is very attractive. it would look lovely in a window. Well done.
