My youngest daughter Sarah was obsessed with SpongeBob Squarepants. Since I always made the costumes, she begged me to turn her into SpongeBob.

I made this Homemade Spongebob Halloween Costume for my 3 year old daughter who absolutely loves Spongebob. I made it out of a box and materials from a craft store. Most of it is made from felt and glued on with fast grab tacky glue.
