Onesies for Baby

I have to share the game/activity from my recent baby shower! My sister-in-law Amber gets all the credit for this!

Onesies for Baby - What you will need:
  • Iron and ironing board (more than one of each, if they're available)
  • Lots of scissors
  • Onesies in a variety of colors and sizes (one per guest)
  • Fabric swatches in a variety of colors and patterns
  • Pens/pencils for drawing shapes on fabric
  • Iron-on adhesive tape
  • 1" Iron-on letters

Have your guests pick out a onesie and cut shapes from as many fabric swatches as they want. 

They can personalize their onesie even more by adding words and phrases using the iron-on letters. 

Once everything's ready, iron adhesive tape onto the back of the fabric shapes, then iron the shapes onto the onesies according to the adhesive tape's instructions. (Tip: It also works to iron the adhesive tape onto the fabric BEFORE cutting the shapes.)

Read the instructions before doing the iron-on letters. Most will have you press the letters for 10-15 seconds, press again from the inside (or the back) of the onesie, and then wait for the letters to cool before removing the paper backing.

It's a fun idea to hang all of the finished onesies on a clothesline for everyone to see!
