One of a Kind Onesies

Happy Friday!  Fridays are my favorite day of the week!  I recently made three onesies for my sister's baby shower.   These are fun gifts to make and personalize for someone.  I love projects that I can make with my cricut as it's a fun tool to use.  The first step is to gather your onesies and decide how you are going to personalize them.
Then use contact paper for your stencil.  Put the contact paper on your mat just as you would with vinyl or paper.  In the past I used vinyl for everything.....which was EXPENSIVE!!  I started using contact paper and found out how nice it worked for creating stencils and was much more economical. You get a huge roll compared to the vinyl sold at your craft stores.  Without a doubt it's more BANG for you buck!!!
My sister chose not to find out what she was having so I made a little bit of everything.  I then used fabric paint to to create the images.  The contact paper makes a great stencil and if you dab the paint on...and not rub...you should get great results.  
My sister's baby turned out to be a little girl....so the dump truck onesie may not get put to use!  Although, if she does wear it...she'll be a cute lil' tomboy!  
Have a great day!  If your reading this.....thanks!

  1. The onesies are so cute. What kind of paint did you use? I need to make some monthly onesies for both of my sisters who are due in June and then July.

  2. Hi Jenny,
    I used fabric paint...I am pretty sure the brand is Tulip. I found it at Joanns. It works well and for the most part washes pretty well.
    Thanks for reading our blog!!!
    Will be sure to link up on Wednesday.

  3. Great idea with the contact paper! How does the fabric paint wash after a few times?
