Threaded Together: Building a Giant Octopus from Reclaimed Fabric

 Learn how to create a patchwork panel for the Octopolis Project! This short tutorial walks you through the materials, steps, and return process needed to help build the skin of Octopolis, a massive community-created octopus sculpture made from reclaimed and donated materials. Whether you're in Springfield, Illinois or participating from afar, every panel helps bring this larger-than-life art installation one step closer to reality. Completed panels must be returned to the Creative Reuse Marketplace by June 30, 2026.
