Candace’s Crafty Corner: A onesie that says it all

Adorable?  Yes.  The idea stolen off of the internet?  Yes.  A great gift for a baby shower or the birth of a new little munchkin?  Yes.

You can copy me, I promise I won’t tell.

What you’ll need:

  • white onesie, prewashed
  • stencil
  • black fabric marker
  • black fabric paint (I used soft black)
  • Friends or family members that are procreating

I traced the letters first with a black fabric marker and stencil.  Be sure to put a paper towel liner inside so it doesn’t bleed through the back.  I also slipped a small cutting board inside to have a hard surface to craft on.  And since I have too much time on my hands (and don’t own a paint brush), I filled the letters in with fabric paint using a toothpick.  Because I’m anal retentive like that.

Let it dry for a long while, then tie it up with a cute bow and hand it over.  People will think you are cooler than you are.  Score.

  1. Steve Jobs is totally going to send you a cease and desist! Oh man, I’m praying for the future of thecandace.com.

    If you are feeling really fancy, you can stencil another phrase a little higher up on the back: iPat

  2. As the recipient of the infamouse “ipood” onesie, I can say they are adorable…well not the actual recipient – that would just be weird – let me start again – as the mother of a recipient of an “ipood”, we LOVE it! Thanks Aunty Candace!

  3. As one of your ‘procreating friends’, I also loved the super cute and creative onesie. I can not wait to get to use it….in about 8 weeks, give or take a bit. You are a super cute and creative genius!

  4. as another recipient of one of these I too am a fan. I have to admit that Keaden’s has been outlined with a nice yellowish brown stain to go along with the theme! it provides a nice outline around the ‘iPood’ phrase….how nice…so glad that he could add that touch to such a sweet onesie!

  5. did i ever say “thank you” for the one you sent me?! probably not because i forget everything!! so a big THANK YOU to your crafty self! it is an awesome onesie :)

    • I’m not sure, but then again, I *also* forget everything so don’t worry! You are so welcome and I can’t *wait* to meet Baby #2 – weeee!
