I love this and found the tutorial. So, I thought I'd share it. I don't have a fireplace, but I was thinking of making one or wrapping it around something else, like my British phone booth, bed, etc.
DIY FIREPLACE KRAKEN
Materials: -$1.00 pool noodles -Duct tape -9-gauge wire - @stretch.tite Premium Plastic Food Wrap…that’s right…it’s not just for food storage! The devil is in the details and this stuff was the star of the show for making these tentacles look as realistic as possible. Definitely a must to get that shiny, wrinkly octopus skin texture and hide the sloppy tape work. One box did the whole project and I still have plenty leftover for future projects.
