How to Decorate a Onesie at a Baby Shower
- 1). Purchase onesies in a variety of sizes ranging from birth to 18 months. White onesies are usually least expensive, but colored fabrics provide variety.
- 2). Wash the onesies with baby laundry detergent and dry. This ensures that the fabric is pre-shrunk before the decorations are added.
- 3). Spread a disposable table covering over a large table. Set out the onesies and the decorating materials, including fabric markers, scraps of baby-themed fabric, scissors and fabric glue.
- 4). Give each guest a piece of cardboard to slide inside the onesie. This keeps the fabric markers, paint and glue from bleeding through to the other side.
- 5). Instruct each guest to write "Made by (name)" with a fabric marker somewhere on the onesie or on the tag. Options include just under the collar on the back, at the bottom where the snaps are, on a sleeve, on the back, or where the baby's bottom will be.
- 6). Use fabric markers to write a word or short phrase on the onesie in a theme, if desired. For example, you could write "trucks," "little princess," "daddy's baby girl," or "I love being messy" on the onesie.
- 7). Cut out relevant images, shapes or patterns from the fabric scraps. Glue these to the front or back of the onesie with fabric glue. For example, on a "trucks" onesie, you could cut simple truck shapes out of plain fabric or cut out images from a fabric with trucks printed on it.
