All of my babies have been due in the spring/summer and I love that I can put them in just a onesie during the summer. I bought a pack of onesies the other day and thought it would be fun to decorate them a little. Here's what became of them. All were made with fabric paint - no sewing involved.
They were all pretty easy and fast to make and they'd make a fun shower gift. Here's how I made each one.
For the faux-cross stitch heart I found a little pattern online and printed it off.
When I slipped the paper under the shirt I could see the pattern just enough to use it as a guide.
Then I took my Tulip slick fabric paint and made "X's" on each red square.
The 3-D texture of it makes it kind of fun.
The "Hi. I'm new here" shirt was just a freezer paper stencil I made. (If you've never tried freezer paper stenciling you can watch my how-to video HERE.)
And lastly, I used an eraser to stamp dots on the last onesie.
I switched it up a little by using three different neon colors.
And there you have 3 one-of-a-kind onesies with not too much work.
Thanks for stopping by.
Adorable! you are going to have one well dressed little lady =)
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute. I agree Gina 'your little one is going to be so well dressed' :)
ReplyDeleteTendré que rescatar los Tulip, que nunca los uso para nada :-)
ReplyDeleteI always sew appliques on baby onesies, but it would be fun to switch it up and paint instead. Thanks for the great idea! I love the neon colors of the paint, and using the cross stitch pattern is pure genius :)
ReplyDeletevery sweet. especially love the faux cross stitch.

ReplyDeleteSO cute!!! I love the cross-stitch shirt-so creative! Giving customized onsies is one of my favorite gifts! I made a few for a friend who is having a boy after two girls. Here's the link if you want to check them out:

Love!
ReplyDeleteThese onesies are adorable. My favorite is the heart, but I would like to know how do you get your dots to be so evenly spaced?
ReplyDeleteThose are SO cute! I can see her with her dark hair and the bright onsies on looking adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteCheri,
ReplyDeleteDo you put your babies on their backs to rest or their tummies? If on their tummies, paint a onsie or two on the back so the design can be seen while the baby is sleeping. Maybe one that says "I'm the sister" or "Girls Roar Too"?
