Hi friends, I'm so excited to be sharing this super fun project today!
Many of you already know that my husband and I are adopting a child. As a result, I've been in nesting mode lately, gathering and making things for a baby. Since we don't know yet whether we will be having a boy or a girl, I've been collecting gender neutral clothing items.
When Liz with Paislee Press released the Scenic Route collection, I was immediately enamored with it. I'm so excited to use it in my pocket page scrapbook and digital scrapbook pages, but first, I just had to use it to make some baby onesies!
With a little text advice from my sweet friend Emily (Desk of Confetti), I used my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine to create these adorable outfits that I cannot wait for our little one to wear soon!
Here’s a list of supplies you’ll need to get started:
A solid color baby onesie
Cricut Machine (I used my Cricut Explore Air 2)
Fabric Paint (preferably heat set paint)
Iron and pressing cloth (baby burp cloth or thin towel)
Scrap piece of cardboard
How to create your own DIY baby onesie using a Cricut Machine and Cricut Stencil Vinyl:
Step 1. Pre-wash and iron your onesie. Then slip a piece of cardboard inside the onesie (to protect the paint from bleeding through).
Step 2. Using your Cricut Explore Air 2 and DesignSpace, cut the design on Cricut Stencil Vinyl under the setting for stencil vinyl.
Step 3. Weed your design.
Step 4. Adhere your stencil to the onesie, pressing firmly around all the edges of the cut.
Step 5. Use a foam brush to apply fabric paint liberally, careful to go all the way to the edges of the stencil. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours, then peel the stencil vinyl away.
Step 6. Use a pressing cloth (or thin towel) over the design and onesie and iron set the paint.
It’s that easy! You too can make your own DIY baby onesies with Cricut! Happy Crafting!
