How cute is that clothesline of tiny little onesies? Since they took up a whole wall, the room instantly looked ready for the baby shower AND it was super easy to put together. I searched around for some onesie "stickers" and found tons of tutorials that required fabric and fusing... no thanks. I also found tons of Etsy shops that sold the iron ons... no thanks again. I figured it was easy enough to make myself so I picked up Avery Iron Transfers from Staples and designed a simple alternating pink scheme on Powerpoint. Make sure you print out the mirror image! And cut access paper.
Since onesies generally come in packs of three, I bought 1 set of each size: 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, and 9-12 months. (I got long sleeves for the appropriate colder months!) Wash and dry with gentle detergent.
Pre-iron the onesie before putting the iron-on down.
Follow the directions on the iron-on packaging... Don't use an ironing board. I put a pillowcase down on the floor because it was easier to apply some weight to the iron that way. Smooth strokes for about 20 seconds.
Wait for the sticker to completely cool before peeling. A) your finger tips will thank you and B) it will peel off correctly.
Repeat. TWELVE times. Make sure you have something fun on TV to watch ;)
