Okay so I've made a couple of these baby girl onesies now, so I thought I would share them with you all. Extremely easy to do, and such a cute finished product great for gift giving or for your own little one to wear.

Here's what you will need to make your own:
* Onesie in the size & color of your choice
(stick with the solid colors)
* Puff paint
(I did not like the tulip brand, it doesn't come out as puffy as the other brand.
I've also hear they have one that is velveted?! Not sure but that would be cool too!)
* Fabric or ribbon for a rosette
* Glue gun for rosette
* Piece of cardstock or cardboard for inside of the onesie
* Needle & thread

Place a piece of cardboard or cardstock inside between the layers of the onesie. This will help it from leaking through to the back side. It will also give a firmer surface to work on. I originally wanted to try dipping the ends of paint brushes into the puffy paint and then onto the onesie for a smoother more even dot...but it wasn't working like I was hoping. So I went back to free handing it with the bottle.
Start with your first row of beads. I made this onesie with multiple strands...smallest to largest on the bottom. You can mix and match your sizes and make them however you'd like.
Finish as many layers of beads as you'd like. You will see in the picture below that I made a bit of an ooops on mine! I didn't put the strands close enough together at the top under the little should flap things. They should be closer together like a real necklace would fall on your neck. I also tape back the should flaps if the onesie has them before I start the painting. That way they don't touch the paint until it's dry.
Make your rosette. Any size, or any color to coordinate with your onesie. On this black onesie I chose a vibrant purple. It's bright and I love it! Looks great against the black with the crisp white beads. After the rosette is made attach it to your onesie with a needle and thread. Be sure to get in on there good so that during washing and wear it won't come off.
Here are the finished products.
This baby pink onesie was the first one I made. I made the rosette out of this adorable natural colored lace from walmart that is sold by the spool. I loved the softness of it's color against the pink. After I made the rosette I had some lace left over so I decide to sew some with some invisible thread to the leg openings of the onesie to add a bit more loveliness! It turned out sweet & simple.
Enjoy, and happying crafting!
These onesies after you make them fabulous can be washed in cold water turned inside out. I would just line dry them!
