Bouncing Octopus 60cm, 1m and 1.6m head diameter

This guide is based on the Bouncing Buddy Octopus, which was developed in the series Bouncing Buddies 2012 by me in my work as a product developer for Invento Products & Services GmbH (also known as HQ-Kites).

The idea to turn this little Bouncing Buddy Octopus into a larger, inflatable sculpture came from Stephan Berndzen, with whom I then exchanged ideas last year to complete this building instruction. Thanks also to Bernd von Ahnen, who consulted with Stephan.

Invento Products & Services GmbH allows me to publish this plan, but does not provide any support. So please do not call my colleagues if something is not clear, they are not responsible for it.

Stephan recently founded a Facebook group on this construction management.

We are happy to help here, but we also have to work or need work, so we don't provide round-the-clock support. 😀

Please Donate!
I've invested a lot of time to create this plan and the instruction for you.
Keep in mind to donate a small money to a local Cancer Help Association or a Stem Cell Transplantation advocacy group for every build octopus. You’ll find instructions on how to do this on the template.
