What could possibly be more special or exciting than picking out Onesies® Brand Bodysuits for a new baby? Making one yourself, of course! Whether you’re planning a decorating station for the mama-to-be or you want to make something extra special and unique for a baby, there are plenty of ways to add personalized touches to a baby bodysuit. Below, we’ll discuss where to find baby bodysuits for crafting and share a few of our favorite Onesies® Brand Bodysuits DIY ideas for a baby.
Where Do I Buy Onesies® Brand Bodysuits for Crafting?
You can find blank Onesies® Brand Bodysuits for crafting at Gerber Childrenswear and other Onesies® Brand retailers. However, we recommend buying them directly from our website so you know that you’re getting the real deal! Our bodysuits are made from the highest-quality materials and come with convenient features that make diaper changes easy for new parents.
If you’re setting up a Onesies decoration station, we also recommend getting several different clothing sizes for the baby. That way, the baby can enjoy your lovely creations throughout their first year and beyond!
7 DIY Gifts for Baby Using Onesies® Brand Bodysuits
Ready to unleash your creativity? We’ve rounded up a few DIY bodysuit ideas that every parent-to-be is sure to love.
By the way, most of these crafts can be applied to baby bibs, too! (Bib decorating station, anyone?)
1. Break Out the Fabric Markers
Not a fan of traditional baby shower games? Consider setting up a Onesies decorating station with fabric markers instead. You don’t need to be Picasso to create a cute design for the parents-to-be. All you need is a little creativity! Of course, it’s still a good idea to provide templates for guests who may be less artistically-inclined. Tulip Color has a great tutorial on how to create a Onesies decorating station with fabric markers.
2. Stencil a Onesies® Brand Bodysuit
If freehand drawing isn’t your thing, stenciling is another fun way to create a DIY gift for the baby. All you need to do is lay the stencil over the bodysuit (make sure you’re on a flat surface!) and paint over it. Super simple, right? To make your gift even more special, consider ordering a custom stencil that includes a personalized saying (e.g., “My Aunt Becca Loves Me!”)
3. Use Iron-On Transfers
While fabric markers and paint are fun for baby showers, the end results can be hit or miss. If you want your Onesies® Brand Bodysuits to come out looking super cute and professional every time, opt for an iron-on transfer instead. Your guests may require a little more assistance with the ironing part, but your bodysuit will come out looking adorable! Learn how to pull it off with this easy, iron-on Onesies tutorial from See Vanessa Craft.
4. Sew on Suspenders and a Bowtie
Is the mom-to-be expecting a baby boy? Turn a blank Onesies® Brand Bodysuit into a dapper outfit for her little man with this DIY tutorial from The Sits Girls. All you need is a bit of fabric, some ribbon and a needle and thread.
5. Sew on a Ruffle Bottom
A ruffle-bottom bodysuit is too cute for words and definitely makes for a one-of-a-kind gift! It’s also the perfect outfit for newborn photoshoots. Find out how to make ruffle bottom Onesies at the DIY Network.
6. Make a Onesies® Brand Bodysuit Wreath
If you’re looking for a creative baby shower gift idea, look no further than this adorable baby Onesies wreath tutorial by This Florida Mom. To make this gift, you’ll wrap baby bodysuits and pants around a wire rack and secure it with a ribbon.
7. Create a Onesies® Brand Bodysuit Memory Blanket
There’s a reason we saved this one for last! If you’re the mama-to-be, consider hanging onto your most treasured bodysuits after your baby outgrows them. If you have sewing skills, or know someone who does, you can turn these bodysuits into a special blanket that is sure to become an heirloom. You can also use other baby items—like bibs, burp cloths and receiving blankets—to create a wonderfully-unique blanket for the baby.
