• Step 1

  Important: If you are going to work on the floor (as I often do, because I don't have lots of space) FIRST VACUUM!!! I had to learn the hard way - every hair or dust particle that is on the floor will cling to the sponge

• 

  Step 2

  Cut the sponge so that it looks like this

• Step 3

  Draw spongebob's face, shirt, tie and trousers on the sponge.
  Tip: test your pen on a piece of sponge scrap. I used a fineliner and when I started painting the ink started to smudge

• 

  Step 4

  Paint!

  I laid some refuge bags underneath the sponge just to make sure the paint did not seep through to the carpet

• Step 5

  Fold the sponge over itself where the dotted lines were and sew 1-2cm from the fold. I did the sewing on the inside, but if you sew on the outside, the costume might have a more rigid box shape

• Step 6

  Fold the 2 flaps above spongebob's head over one another and sew them together. Then cut a hole, big enough to push your head through, at the top. Sew around the edges of the hole and the arm holes to make it a little bit more sturdy. I also glued some pieces of cardboard to the inside to act as shoulder pads.

  Step 7

  And Viola!

  Now find a groom and make him carve a house out of a pineapple and let him try and convince a real estate agent to sell his home
