Materials You Will Need:
- Yellow felt
- Black, white, and red felt
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
- Stuffing
- Glue
Step 1: Cutting Out SpongeBob’s Body
First, take your yellow felt and cut out the shape of SpongeBob’s body. Make sure to include his iconic square pants and have enough felt for the front and back pieces.
Step 2: Creating SpongeBob’s Face
Using the black, white, and red felt, cut out SpongeBob’s eyes, mouth, and tongue. You can refer to pictures of SpongeBob for accurate measurements and shapes. Once you have all the pieces, use glue or stitch them onto the front piece of the yellow felt.
Step 3: Sewing SpongeBob Together
Take the front and back pieces of SpongeBob’s body and place them together, with the decorated side facing inwards. Use a needle and thread to sew the edges, leaving a small opening to stuff the sponge.
Step 4: Stuffing SpongeBob
Once you have sewn most of the edges, turn SpongeBob inside out and start stuffing him with filling. Make sure to fill him evenly to achieve a plushy and three-dimensional look. Once you are satisfied with the amount of stuffing, sew the remaining opening.
Step 5: Adding Finishing Touches
Feel free to get creative and add any additional details, such as SpongeBob’s freckles or clothes, using the leftover felt. You can either stitch or glue these details onto SpongeBob.
