With a few changes:

  1. There are 6 pipe cleaners to be tentacles and the “bell” needs 1 for the bottom, 7 for the the main part, and 1 to cinch the top with. (See images below)

2. Instead of tucking the ends of the pipe cleaner used to cinch the top, use one end to make a hanging loop above the jellyfish and the other to make a loop inside the bell.
Use the inside loop to affix the tentacles to the bell

3. Cut the ribbon in half and tie each piece centered on the inner loop.

Tips:

  • Take the cinching step slowly to make the loops lie nicely
  • Connect the bottom “rim” before cinching the top (this makes it a little easier to shape as you go.
  • Bend and shape the bell before making loops and/or adding tentacles
