Iron On Onesies

Iron Ons have come a long way...  There are so many options.  They are a far cry from the Iron Ons that I remember from the 70s and 80s.  This was a definite option for the Onesie Shower!

This is pretty self explainatory.  HOWEVER...I do want to mention that there are some Iron Ons that need steam to adhere.  Our Iron Ons did not some with directions and poor Shanay spent the better half of our activity at the ironing board trying to adhere an Iron Ons with a dry iron without any positive results.  We needed to use dry irons for the webbing for our Fabric Appliqued onesies.  Poor Shanay.

  

Stamped Onesies

Another option for decorating onesies at Jacklyn's shower was using stamps and fabric paint.

I found these Scribbles Stamps:

and bought some Tulip Fabric Paint in various colors:

Using a paint brush, you can apply paint to the stamps and stamp onto the onesies.  Be sure to use a small piece of cardboard in between the front and back of the onesie so you don't have any paint bleed through.  Stamp on!

 

Fabric Marker Decorated Baby Onesies

Steel's Creation

We had a baby shower for our expecting Jacklyn last weekend.  Our activity was decorating onesies.  I will be posting on all the different types of decorating techniques and have a special post on the shower itself linking all the posts when I am done.  Stay tuned for all the fun and excitement!  =)  

I figured that not all people would want to get super involved with the decorating so I thought fabric markers were a quick and easy solution for those just wanting to decorate one quickly and easily.  

I found these Tulip Fabric Markers:

Steel made the one at the top.  He included all the years that Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl and all of their winning coaches.  Gage will be a Steeler Fan if Steel has anything to say about it!  =)

Steel hard at work.

Gage Rocks!

Star of the Week

Steel was Star of the Week a couple weeks back.  I thought it was such a nice idea that I thought I would share it with you.  He had his own special bulletin board for the week.  He took me down to his classroom to show me when I picked him up from the after school program.  His teacher sent a packet home on Friday of the week before that said what to do for each of the days of his week.

He filled out a special page at school.  

Monday he was to bring in a page filled out with his favorite things, a picture that he drew of his family and pictures.

  

Tuesday:  He was to bring in a few of his favorite things.

Wednesday:  He was to bring in his favorite book to read to his class.

Thursday and Friday:  His classmates wrote him notes.  Most were about what each of them had in common with him, if they liked the same things, etc.
