For the end of our Dinosaur themed decals, I had to have an ode to my favorite dino, the Velociraptor! And then once I heard the adorably punny “Veloci-nap-tor,” I knew I had to make one for my sister’s baby. I had so much fun drawing the little raptor with a bottle, it may be my favorite of all the dino onesies!
The decal is made of Purple Easyweed HTV on an Orange Hand Dyed Onesie and it came out so cute! I used the font Breamcatcher in this design, a font that is free to download from dafont.com to use to personalize this onesie or for your other crafting projects!

Supplies:
Dyed or White Onesies
Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl or Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl
Craft Cutter and Tool Set
Adhesive Mat
Onesie Design Cut Files
After downloading the cut files, import them into the Cricut Software. After creating a new project, select Upload Image. Select the file you wish to upload and it will automatically take you to the final upload screen, where you can name the file, then select Save. The SVG Files are sized so that they will automatically cut to the size you see in the photos, but if you want to change the size you can do so to fit your onesies the way you like.
After selecting “Make It” Make sure to select the Mirror Mode on the cutting screen. Cut the design in your choice of heat transfer vinyl with the Iron On (for Easyweed HTV) or Iron On+ (for Glitter HTV) Setting on your Cricut, with the shiny side of the material down.
Weed the additional material off of the backing material so that, looking down with the shiny side up, you can see your design with the correct orientation.Iron your onesie to remove any creases, then center the design over the top half of the onesie. Arrange the design shiny side up, then cover with parchment paper. Make sure to keep the parchment paper between the design and the iron.
4. Set your Iron to the second Highest setting. Cover the parchment paper and decal with your iron, pressing down firmly on the design. Using your iron like a small heat press, press the design for at least 20-30 seconds, repeating and overlapping the last position as you move across the design. Luckily, onesie decals are so small, you should be able to fit the whole decal under the iron in a single press!
5. Remove the parchment paper and peel the clear backing from the decal, leaving the design on the onesie. Pair this design with our Dino Footprints Baby Onesie of any of our other Dino Onesies for a perfect pair to give any new dino loving mama and baby!
