Making a gift for the baby is a wonderful way to show you care- and you can make a set of these fun, custom Onesies (or tees, or burp cloths) easily with Simply Spray! If you’ve read my review of Simply Spray, you saw how with 3 colors I made a cute tie-dye baby onesie. Here are a few other ways to dress up those simple snapsuits!


For the one above I took my Simply-Sprayed onesie, then free-handed a little purple flower using a Dritz Disappearing Ink Pen. (These literally vanish with a squirt of water!) Then I used some Tulip Crystals Fabric Paints to draw and fill in my flower. Of course, if you aren’t into free-handing a design, you can always use a stencil from Consumer Crafts! Or, you could tie-dye your onesie and then apply an iron-on on top. Cute!
You can also make your own stencil using the Cricut. If you’ve been following our Baby Week projects, you’ll see how I cut tags using the New Arrival cartridge for the Pretzel Rod Snacks. I just selected the “circle” function key, pressed the “rattle” image, and then resized it to be 3 inches. I used the circle cut-out as a stencil: I just placed it on my plain onesie, then sprayed over top.

When it was dry, I flipped it over and sprayed the back to match.
I would recommend making 3 snapsuits in different sizes and then boxing them up as gift- that way, when the baby outgrows one size, there’s another he or she can wear!
Have fun!
