While making all these fun critter inspired onesies for the spring, I couldn’t help but think of all the little paw prints of the baby animals in the forest. While my newest baby niece is not  crawling yet, she undoubtedly will be all too soon, and before she starts leaving footprints of her own, she will be looking cute in this Paw Print Patterned onesie!

I made the decal from Black Easyweed HTV on a Hand Dyed Emerald Onesie, perfect for any foresty little sprite you know!! This project is a great beginner HTV transfer project; the decal is easy to cut, weed, and each paw print set is small enough to fit entirely under your iron in one press. Experiment with different placements of the paw prints and make your own custom patterns.

Onesie Design Cut Files

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 arrange the decals on the onesie for transfer. I arranged one decal along the left side of the onesie and the other going from under the right arm to the neckline, as shown in the photos. 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 each paw print decal set 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. Repeat the iron press process with the remaining paw print decal to complete the onesie. You can easily pair this design with any of our other critter inspired onesies, but my favorite is with the Cutest Critter in the Forest Onesie!

My sister and I were a little bit of trouble makers when we were babies, at least once we started crawling! For all those mothers with feisty little ones, this Wild Child Onesie is a perfect fit! 

I wanted the lettering to look like it was surrounded by a Lion’s Mane and ears, so I made the decal from Red Easyweed HTV on a Hand Dyed Yellow Onesie, and it turned out so adorable! This project is a great beginner HTV transfer project; the decal is easy to cut, weed, and small enough to fit entirely under your iron in one press. I used the fonts Passengers Script and African in this decal, which you can download for free from dafont.com to future personalize your onesie!

One of my best friends is expecting a baby soon and received an adorable Mama Bear themed sweater for the winter, and as soon as I saw it I knew there had to be a baby bear onesie to go with it for when her little one arrived! Thus, my baby bear onesie was born! Since her sweater has the silhouette of a bear with Mama cut out of it oh, it was only fitting that her little girls onesie was a little bear cub silhouette with baby cut out!  

The decal was made with Brown Easyweed HTV on a Hand Dyed Red Onesie and it turned out so adorable! Can't wait to see what it looks like in silver glitter and purple next!  This project is a great beginner HTV transfer project; the decal is easy to cut, weed, and small enough to fit entirely under your iron in one press.

As soon as I heard of this clever pun involving foxes, I had to use it in my critter themed onesie collection! Because if there's one thing newborns and little ones are good at, it's not giving any cares about things when they are hungry or need a nap.

For this onesie, I made the decal in Black Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl on a Hand Dyed Orange Onesie, and it turned out super perfect considering the foxy theme! This project is a great beginner HTV transfer project; the decal is easy to cut, weed, and small enough to fit entirely under your iron in one press.

DIY HTV You are my Sunshine Newborn Baby Onesie

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

Growing up, one of our favorite childhood songs was “You are my Sunshine” and I think it is such a fitting saying for a new baby coming into your life. Despite the sleepiness and tough times, your baby is still a little ray of sunshine! So for the last (newborn) onesie I designed, I made this beautiful “You are my Sunshine” two toned onesie!

The decal was made in Turquoise Easyweed HTV for the top lettering and Gold Metal Foil HTV for the bottom lettering on a Hand Dyed Yellow Onesie. I absolutely love the onesie and decal color combination, bright and cheerful just like your little ray of sunshine! If you wish to use them for other projects, this decal was made with the fonts Betty and Clarissa, both of which are available at dafont.com!

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 and Metal Look HTV) or Iron On+ (for Glitter HTV) Setting on your Cricut, with the shiny side of the material down. Repeat for the remaining color of your decal.

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, shiny side up. Start by arranging the whole design (both colors) so that you can see how they will fit together, with the “Sunshine” Decal under the other text decal. Once the design is placed to your satisfaction, remove the “You are my” lettering, leaving only the “Sunshine” Decal to transfer first.  Cover with parchment paper, making 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 for Easyweed or Glitter HTV or 10-15 seconds for Metal Look HTV, 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. Now, arrange the second decal back on the onesie, fitting the text to run along the top of the “Sunshine” lettering. Cover with parchment paper and again press the design for 20-30 seconds, checking every 10 seconds until the second design is adhered. I was worried about Foil HTV I had already transferred, but it didn’t seem to hurt it by repressing it with the iron.

6. Remove the parchment paper and peel the clear backing from the decal, leaving the end of the design on the onesie.

DIY Hand Dyed Baby Onesies

This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click on a link I will recieve a small comission. This costs you nothing extra and I only promote products I use and love! You can read our full disclosure here

In honor of my sister’s first child, we are adding Baby Shower Gifts to the Wine and Sprinkles DIY arsenal! :) When I was thinking of baby shower gifts the first thing that came to mind was all the fun HTV decals I could make for onesies! But since white onesies weren’t quite colorful enough for me, I decided to dye them first!

 If you are looking to make some onesies for a special mama's little one, I would highly recommend dying them some fun colors beforehand! It's a super easy project that is a couple hours of time of letting clothes sit in dyes and wash in the washing machines for super fun colored onesies!

Since I wanted to dye multiple colors all at the same time, I bought a multipack of these 16 qt Sterilite Containers and it worked out so well! I was able to dye all my onesies at the same time and, for a couple hours or work, made dozens of onesies in a rainbow of colors for my nephew!

---

Supplies:

- White Onesies
- Cotton Color Dye
- Salt (½ cup per color)
- Dish Detergent
- Plastic Gloves
- Sterilite Plastic Containers or Stainless Steel Sink

---

1. Start by washing and drying all the onesies you want to dye to remove any starches or detergents currently in the fabric. Put on gloves to start preparing the dye baths.

2. Now, prep the dye bath for your onesies in a sink or plastic container. For each color you want to dye your onesies, you will need a separate bath. For each color bath, make a dye mixture consisting of:

1 gallon Hot (140-160° F) Water
½ cup salt
4 - 6 oz Clothing dye
½ tsp Liquid Dish Detergent 

For the colors I made, I used the following combinations of dyes:
Red- 6 oz. Cherry Red
Orange - 4 oz. Lemon Yellow + 1 oz. Cherry Red
Yellow - 4 oz. Lemon Yellow
Emerald - 4 oz. Emerald
Blue/Green - 4 oz. Emerald + 2 oz. Denim Blue (I’d recommend 1 oz)
Blue - 4 oz. Denim Blue
 If you are using a dye other than the ones I used, make sure to check the instructions on their dye mix ratios!

3. Once the bath is made, add your onesies to the dye mixture, completely submerging and soaking each individually as you add it. Once all the clothes are added, stir the dye-onesie mix and cover with the container lid (if you are using containers like me).  I made 4-5 onesies in each color.

4. Let the onesies soak for one hour, stirring every few minutes to mix the dye with the onesies. I ended up not stirring them, but I should have! Mine came out a little marbley, which I thought was super fun but if you are looking for a more consistent color, stirring often is key! :) I also let the Yellow and Orange Onesies soak for an extra 30 minutes because they were a lighter color and I wanted to make sure it got dyed all the way!

Now what do you do when you are done dying your onesies? Add some super cute HTV decals to personalize them for a perfect handmade baby shower gift! You can check out our Baby Onesie Projects Here for lots of different design options to perfectly customize your gift to delight your mama to be!

5. After the onesies are dyed to your desired shade, remove them from the bath and wash them in the sink under cold water until the water begins to run clear. Then, wash them on warm with a mild detergent and an old towel in a washer; dry, and you’re done! I ended up washing and drying each color of onesies individually, to make sure the colors didn’t run.
