I love the design. I think I will do this on some tshirts for my girls.

Love this idea! I wonder how my/the Cricut cutter would handle cutting freezer paper. That could allow for some really great designs!

So clever! And brilliant, might I add. I’m about to try freezer paper stenciling this week, we’ll see how it goes. I’m going the exacto knife route. It could be disasterous.

And the Bumbo– we LOVE it. Perfect high chair on-the-go for our little guy who spends his days at the homes of various family members.

I love this project, Whitney! So cute and non-cheesy.

This is a great DIY gift. Love the dots.

I have been adorning onesies for years as baby gifts as well. More easy ideas:
1. Use pre-made stencils from Dover books. They sell animal and sealife stencil books for $1. I usually make a set of 3 w/ different animals on each.
2. Personalize. I write the baby name on the computer using a graphics program and print it out using transfer paper and iron on.

Over the years I have learned it is fun to put the name or design on back of shirt for babies since babies are more often seen and photographed from the back before they learn to sit up!!
