How to Make your Heat Transfer Baby Onesies

This craft is so simple and ready within minutes! If you happen to have a little bit of downtime and you’re wanting to create, then you will love this simple tutorial. Dress the baby up in for the holidays, themes, parties, and much more!

Step 1

Once your image has been printed, trim around the entire thing using a pair of scissors.

The Online Labels site has great directions on how to use the transfer paper if you click here. Basically, you will flip the transfer over onto a wrinkle-free but hard surface. Then iron on using a VERY HOT iron with no steam. The timing for ironing is discussed in the PDF linked above. Follow the directions to make sure these onesies are successful.

Step 2

After ironing, you allow the entire thing to cool at least two minutes before removing the backing. Your onesies are ready for wearing or gift-giving. You can use this same method with any free image you can find online. Just be sure to invert the image before printing so your text reads correctly once transferred.

Making your own onesies is as easy as printing and ironing. You can use this same method on T-shirts and more for older kids and adults as well. You will soon be addicted to making clothing with this super simple technique.

What kind of onesies will you make for the little ones in your life? My daughter is a huge Harry Potter fan so naturally, the baby will be joining Gryffindor.

How to Use

Gift these onesies to your friends or relatives as a token of celebration for the newest additions. These onesies would also be great for a baby shower event or birthday party when you want the babies wearing coordinating designs and colors.

And the chicks graphic I created was just too funny! We definitely had to turn this one into something to wear for the little guy.
