Baby showers are some of the most exciting parties to attend. These parties encourage guests to mingle and enjoy the fun baby shower games.
Hosting a baby shower can be exciting, however planning them can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Whether it’s the theme, decorations, the type of food that will be served, activities, or games there are many factors to take into consideration when planning these types of parties.
Planning a baby shower should be an exciting experience and not a stressful task. To help reduce some of the stress, our team has created a simple yet fun and budget-friendly baby shower activity many will love…decorating baby onesies!
How to set up a baby onesie decorating station
Decorating baby onesies is a fun activity that gives friends and family the opportunity to create unique and personalized onesies as a souvenir or memento for the baby.
A large table should be used to hold your supplies and enough space for guests to embellish their onesie bodysuits. Use an old tablecloth or kraft paper to protect your table from paint or marks on your table. Organize your supplies in bins so guests can easily grab what they need.
Supplies you will need
- Plain blank baby onesies
- Fabric markers
- Fabric paint
- Iron-on designs and letters
- Fabric transfer paper
- Iron
- Inkjet printer
- Reusable stencils
- Cardboard rectangles
3 Methods Guests can Decorate Their Onesies
1. Fabric Markers, Paint, and Stencils
This method gives your guest the ability to express themselves and create something a little more personal. Attendees can use fabric markers to freehand a design or write a special message to the baby or use a stencil and paint.
2. Iron-on Designs
Add a pop of style with iron-on letters, numbers, and appliques to your decorating process. You can find iron-on transfers at any crafts store such as Michael’s and Joann’s. Be sure to show guests how to safely apply iron-on transfers to prevent anyone from being hurt during the process.
Crafting Tip: Save money on crafting supplies by shopping at Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree has expanded its arts and crafting section to carry many of the same products found at big crafting stores.
3. Fabric Transfer Print
Next is one of my favorite methods of personalizing a baby onesie. What better way to capture the fun than by having a photo printed onto the onesie? If you have a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled inkjet printer guests can simply connect and print their favorite photos onto fabric transfer paper.
After the transfer has been printed, follow the same steps as the iron-on transfers, and voilà you have yourself a DIY custom-printed baby onesie.
