Handmade Baby Gift in 30 mins. How To

A). Drop the groceries, run around looking for something adorable only to show up late, with spoiled groceries and empty handed?
B). Drop your groceries, run to your 4 year old child's closet and pull out something. Wrap it up and explain to the confused new parents that their kid will grow into it?
C). Finish your shopping calmly, adding formula and a pack of diapers to be gift-wrapped?
D). Finish your grocery shopping and go home to make this... in 30 mins.


Alright, not the normal amount of effort I would exert on a new-baby gift but with moments warning, this is the best you get. Lesson? Call ahead if you want something really cool, otherwise get a modified one-sie.

30 Minute Handmade Baby Gift How To:

Marerials:1 Plain Onesie, any size or color you like
1 stained but salvageable or outgrown child t-shirt in bright color, you will cut around the stains, no worry
1 circular pen cap or flat pencil eraser you won't mind painting
Silver fabric paint
Cut paper template of simple flower shape, whatever you like
The Basics: (scissors, needle, thread, glue gun)
....and 30 minutes from start to finish, including dry time.

Another old shirt project :: a tutorial

As already mentioned in my previous post I did take pictures of every step in the process of making my new little toiletry bag. Being only one step away from a tutorial, I decided to write down everything now that it's still fresh in my mind. So, that's what I have ready for you today: a new tutorial!
