SPONGEBOB
PLUSH
GUIDE
Master Plush Patterns!
He’s cute and squishy to begin with, and when you follow the patterns in this guide, you’ll turn him into something so swell and huggable, people
are bound to go overboard! This is the Master Guide for creating SpongeBob SquarePants Plush! It’s easy to follow and provides
everything you need to create plush that looks like SpongeBob, rather than a hunk of cheese. Plus, sticking to the directions in this Guide helps
ensure our spongy star looks the same all over the land and sea.
On the following pages you’ll find turnaround photos of the Master Plush Prototypes with notes on proper construction. All photo images,
as well as the actual downloadable patterns, can be found on www.Nicksource.com.
Nickelodeon welcomes creativity in fabric choices, but be mindful that all fabrics behave differently! We know, too, that different pile heights and
different stretch ability might require slight pattern adjustments to fit your needs. This can be addressed in the approval process. And
ALWAYS keep in mind, all fabric choices must meet industry standards for safety!
So let’s dive in, shall we?
