Customized Baby Bodysuit

This is my first ever blog post! Are you excited? I am!! Since the idea came to me to blog I’m running lists of projects in my head which I planning to do and then share. Here is my first little ‘do-it-yourself’ project, I hope you like it. It is very simple, quick and budget conscious, a perfect nap time challenge . :)

All you need is a 100% cotton bodysuit, T-shirt graffiti markers and a cool image, logo or quote to draw onto the bodysuit.

I recommend placing a thick piece of cardboard inside the bodysuit to make it easy to draw on and to not let the ink stain the back. Even a small chopping board will do.

Sourcing:

1. Plain white bodysuit: Tesco sells a pack of 7 for €8 or buy organic cotton 3 for €12 in H&M. They are both perfect for this purpose.
2. Graffity markers: Home Focus at Hickeys at the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre or order from Amazon. It cost me €9 for the pack and I will get so much use out of them.

 Once you are finished drawing you will need to fix the ink to the cloth with a quick rub of the iron.

Here is my effort and I’m very happy with it, not bad for first attempt. Next time I will use a tailors chalk to draw outlines first as it is a bit off center. I took the image from the Internet and since then I’ve seen loads more cool stuff I want to do. I still have 6 body suits left from my pack of 7, so by the time I’m finished my little man can wear a different custom designed piece every day of the week. All for under €20… that’s a bargain! :) :) :)
