Tips for Bulbasaur’s Signature Bulb
The bulb is Bulbasaur’s defining feature: stuff it firmly so it stands proud and round on the back, and attach it with careful, even stitches so it never wobbles. Embroider or attach the darker green spots randomly across the body for an authentic look. Keep the legs short and sturdy with firm stuffing so this little grass-type stands solidly without tipping forward.
