DIY HTV “Aroarable” Dinosaur Themed Baby Onesie #aroarable #babygift #svgfile

I remember I first heard the fun phrase, “RAWR means I love you in Dinosaur” years ago and thought it was the cutest thing ever! At that time, it was for fun with my now husband, but I also adore it as a baby saying, especially since sometimes it feels like baby sounds are kind of like a dinosaur rawr. :) Similar to the A-roar-able Baby Onesie, this onesie also comes with a cute little longneck dinosaur decal for your favorite little milk-a-voire!

I cut the decal in Jade Glitter HTV and transferred it to a Denim Hand Dyed Onesie, and while it still turned out cute next time I think I’ll try it on a lighter colored onesie for contrast, but I can’t say no to the fun Glitter HTV’s one onesies and the jade is great for dinosaurs!I used the font The Bold Font when I designed this decal, which is free to download from dafont.com for further customization or to use in any of your other baby projects.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 Aroarable Dino Onesie for an adorable Dino Onesie Duo!
