Baby Shower Gift Tutorial

Baby Shower Gift Tutorial

My sister-in-law is having a baby in September! I am so excited for her and excited to be an Aunt. I love being an Aunt.  I already have two nieces and a nephew and I just adore them. 

I wanted to make her something special for the baby.  I had planned a post about the awful baby blanket I made.  I used a simple tutorial I found somewhere and sewed two pieces of flannel together.  I hated the way it turned out.  It's charming in a home-made sort of way but not perfect.  I didn't take any pictures of it so there will be no "look at this awful thing I made" post. 

I being a little hard on myself really. 

I did make a couple of baby onesies (what to do you call them? Onesies? bodysuits? snapsuits?) that I love. 

This was so easy and fun.  Here's what you'll need:

onesie, t-shirt, etc.

fabric paint

paper towel tube or toilet paper tube

Cut a circle from your tube.

Form your circle into a heart or other shape. (You can leave it a circle too!)

Dip your tube shape into fabric paint and print onto your onesie. I always forget to do this but before you begin printing or painting on a onesie or t-shirt put a piece of paper or cardboard inside.  Otherwise your paint will seep through and your onesie will stick together!

I printed several hearts on mine.

I love the way they turned out!

Here's another idea using tubes!

Feel like a lot of work? These designs are available in my etsy shop Belle Rose Designs!
