Turkey Tie Onesie

Several of you have been asking me to create some crafts for all the fellas out there, ask & ye shall receive! I just love this craft for your lil' gobbler, perfect for the Thanksgiving festivities.

If you don't have time to make your own I've put them in my etsy shop, sizes 0-3 all the way to 18 mths are available & all are new, white, long sleeve gerber onesies.

So enough plugs, on with the tutorial!

Not a whole lot of directions here, it's basically only a few steps...

1- cut out a tie shape from your freezer paper

2- iron on to onesie, shiny side down (high heat but no steam!)

3- draw your turkey shape with a black fabric marker

4- Fill in with fabric paint, just follow basic coloring rules and stay within the lines. (:

Also I like tulip brand paint, you can find it at most local craft stores. Oh and I did the shading on the tie by using a slightly darker green that I made by adding a little brown & drop of black to the green I used on the main tie area.

5- Once dry iron again to set the paint.

(machine wash inside out/tumble dry low)

If you need more freezer paper stenciling instructions I like lil blue boo's, you can find them here.

I also have a few other onesie ideas for little boys that I'll be posting this week, they're SO cute, makes me want a little mister. But then I realize that would be mean having another baby in the house, and then I think that crafting for your little guy will tide me over just fine...
