SUGRU Pot Handles

Step 1: Sugru Pot Handle Octopus

My friendly local hackspace were having a Sugru evening, the perfect opportunity to replace the handle that broke off a saucepan lid last year, and while I was at it give my saucepan some octopus attitude.

Step 2: Mix Some Sugru

Decide what colour you want your new pot handle to be and mix up some Sugru, I used a pack each of red and blue, and half a pack of white to get a funky purple.

Step 3: Legs

Split the sugru in half, then split one of those halves in 8 and roll them out tapering the ends down. Arrange the legs around the pot lid in a snazzy manner.

Step 4: Body

Roll the remaining Sugru into an egg shape and cover the screw for the pot handle. Smooth the body and the legs together.

Step 5: Eyes (optional)

Use a bit of white and a smidge of black sugro to add eyes to the octopus. Now he can watch you while you cook.

Step 6: Cure

Leave the Sugru 24 hours to cure completely, then you are ready to get cooking.
