Side trip: easy embellished baby gift

We decorated onesies for the activity at a baby shower a few weeks ago, and since we had some leftover materials, Ben and I each made a onesie for the newest baby in our family.

The steps are simple and the materials are minimal - really a great activity to do with kids.

Materials

• Fabric for designs
• Pinking shears and/or fabric scissors
• Fabric markers for drawing/outlining (optional)
• Plain onesies
• Fusible web adhesive (we used Wonder Under)
• Iron (set to low)

To decorate the onesie

1. Cut out a fabric design.  You can use a template or just cut out a design you like...pinking shears are best to keep the edges from fraying all over the place.
2. On a low setting, iron the fabric to a fusible adhesive.  Once it's attached to the fabric, the paper backing will peel off exposing a slightly glossy surface that will attach the design to the onesie.
3. Iron the design onto the onesie.
4. Add other design elements with fabric markers.

Ben and I had a great time planning out our designs and both added a little tie embellishment.  We boxed them up with a few jarcakes for mom and dad (and maybe enough to share with the neighbors across the street) and shipped them out.
