Yes, yes, we're having a baby (due in March)! Our first! J.B. and I are definitely super excited about this new adventure. What better what to celebrate on the blog than a new onesie? This one, of course, is going to my niece Olivia, but maybe before long I'll be whipping up a few of these for my own little one!
Materials:
- blank onesie
- fabric paint
- fabric for the flower
- beads/sequins for the flower center
- paint brush or dapper
I used a couple of other optional tools along the way, you'll see...
Before you start any painting, make sure you put a piece of cardboard in the middle of the onesie. This will keep the fabric paint from bleeding through to the backside.
Next, start your first necklace. I found that it's easier to start with a dot in the center and move out to the sides. Since I'm really no good at free handing, I'm using these handy little dappers to make my "necklace beads." I picked these up awhile back in the paintbrush section of the craft store.
I also realized at this point that its much easier to do this if you already have the edge of the "necklace" traced out. Makes for less wonky necklaces!
I did the middle necklace with a little bit larger dapper for some variety.
After finishing these with the dappers, I went back with an itty bitty paint brush to fill in any places the paint didn't cover well. It looked a lot better afterwards ...
Next I made a fabric flower with a pin in the back {so it can be removed for washing}. You can use whatever fabric flower you like. I went with a rendition of t h i s f l o w e r t u t o r i a l.
You could also sew the flower down or use velcro to attach it - whatever you have on hand.
Then attach your flower and you're all done!
This works great with little t-shirts too if you're not into onesies.
I love a girlie little tee!
Thanks Sarah! I'll be making this for three new baby girls I have in my life. And congrats to you!
