Thread: I'm looking for SpongeBob Squarepants

Tweet

Has anyone come across a pattern to make SpongeBob Squarepants Costume? I haven't been able to locate one.

My plan.... Getting foam from an upholstery store and spray painting it.

Any other suggestions?

PS - store bought is out of the question, I NEVER buy a costume

Hi Lucia, welcome!

Your idea sounds good to me, with some red & white striped socks, big white gloves, boots, and let's not forget to make a crabby patty hat! Maybe if you want him to have a big cheezy Sponge Bob smile, you can cut out a big mouth,paint some large teeth size pieces of foam white, glue them in,leaving a space between his teeth, and glue black screen cloth to the inside, so you can see out. OH! and don't forget to cut him out a HUGE schnozola! LOL

(IMO)Foam rubber is ok if it's only for a short period of time. (It's hard to sit in it.) But if you're going to wear it for a long time or if it's for a child you might want to use yellow fabric and paint it. Nickjr has a site that sells the costumes, you might want to look at theirs to get an idea for using regular or plush fabric. I also make my costumes every year. It's alot more fun and they look so much nicer. Good-luck with SpongeBob

I went to a store yesterday called Spirit Halloween Store and saw a SB costume there maybe you can see if that name is in your phone book then write back to me!!

If you do have to end up making your own SB costume don't forget that his socks are white with a blue and red stripe!! This is a little detail but you don't want to forget!!! sorry, I'm a bit of a SB fanatic and a perfectionist....
