DIY Painted Onesies

Start by printing a template that you like.  I simply used Microsoft Word and found a fun font.  If you don't have one that you like, download one for free from 1001 Free Fonts.  

After getting my text typed into the word processing program, I then found my clip-art that I wanted to pair the text with.  In Microsoft Word you can view a ruler, thus, allowing visual measurements of how big your onesie design will be when printed.  I measured my onesie across the chest and found a good height and width for it, then proceeded to print.  Every brand of onesie varies in size and also depends on style, so measuring is a must for best fit!

After printing out my onesie design, I cut it out with scissors and traced it onto my onesie.  It would have been easier to use my old trick of printing out on freezer paper (plastic/waxy side down) and then ironing on the letters and peeling them off after tracing, but I just held them in place because I was feeling lazy).

After I started filling in the letters and outlining.  I let dry between each color to avoid smearing and mixing of colors.
