Activity #88: Design your own baby clothes

Holden is about one month old.My brain used to hurt with all the clever ideas for baby t-shirts I thought I was having. I’d think of ideas at the least opportune moments, try to remember them, make a picture or word art in Powerpoint, then print on iron on paper.

Use multi-packs of snapsuits from Target (5 for $9) for your canvas. Funny nicknames, favorite pictures, anything is fair game.

This picture of Holden features his “Texas Hold’en” onesie.

    […] If you’re cheap (like me), you can always improvise with some iron-ons or a sharpie. And don’t forget to vote on Tuesday! […]

    Re: Iron-on paper: We have gotten ours from Office Depot or the like. I would suggest buying the most expensive they have (a difference of pennies usually), pre-washing the garment, and following the package instructions to the letter. The directions can vary about how long the iron is applied and what — if anything — is between your creation and the ironing board (or if you’re even allowed to use an ironing board!). I’ve definitely had mixed results so once your pre-washed garment is created, photograph your kid the very first time it is worn! Just in case it all goes to hell by the second time…
