| 1 | Light Blue Onesie | To achieve Gary’s light blue skin tone, wear a plain adult-sized onesie with a hoodie and zip it up fully. |
| 2 | Pipe Cleaners | Inserting pipe cleaners inside your DIY Gary eye antennas will ensure that they won’t look floppy. |

Gary the Snail is SpongeBob’s beloved pet and housemate as he lives with SpongeBob in a pineapple under the sea. This sea snail sounds and acts like the equivalent for a cat but he has other special abilities. It has been revealed that Gary could in fact understand the other characters and has a wide vocabulary and set of skills that he doesn’t usually show. He’s also the first cousin of Patrick, and they both share interesting psychic abilities.
Although Gary’s a pet, SpongeBob treats him very well and like family since they’ve been together for a long time. Gary looks like a regular snail but has a light blue body with a green underbelly, long antenna eyes, and a pretty pink shell.
