Great Baby Gift!!

Need a great baby gift?  I have a great idea for you!!  And it's easy enough that your kids can do it too!!

 

How cute are these onesies???

My girls and I made these onesies for my great nephew, Logan, who is just three weeks old and is cute as can be!!!  He is so tiny, and is a rare boy in our family, so I thought I'd give him a unique personalized gift.  At first I was going to stamp both onesies myself, but the girls came down and insisted that they be part of the fun too, so I figured why not??

I did stamp his name on the first one above, and then Emily stamped the rest of the front and Erin stamped the back.  (Can you tell how proud she is in the photo above?)  And then my BORING onesie is on the bottom. :)

If you have never stamped on fabric before, here are a few tips:

• First, wash and dry the item without fabric softener.  (I let the onesies air dry.)
• Ink your stamp using craft ink (or other pigment ink) and instead of stamping quickly, let the ink soak in for a few seconds.  I had my girls put the stamp down and count to 10 before they lifted it up.
• Let the ink air dry for 24 hours.
• Turn inside out & heat set in the dryer on medium heat for 30 minutes.

Then for future care, it's best to wash it in cold water and air dry, but if you don't mind a little fading, you can just wash it with your regular laundry.  (That's what I usually do - who can be bothered with all that extra stuff!!!)
