BEFORE WE TALK ONESIES, LET’S TALK CRICUT IRON-ON DESIGNS:

I’ve said before that I avoided Cricut projects involving iron-on because I HATED using an iron – until the EasyPress came to my rescue! Now I put iron-on on everything. Even wood! But these Cricut Iron-On Designs have been a complete game changer, and I’m here to tell you why!

The new Cricut Iron-On Designs are premade designs that are ready to apply right out of the package! The designs come in two sizes – large and small. The large size is perfect for t-shirts, tote bags, and large wall decor pieces. While the small size is perfect for tea towels, coasters, and of course, cute baby onesies!

When it comes to designs, there are currently 50 to choose from! These cute designs range from word phrases, images, boho, modern, and everything in between!

However, the best part (for me) about Cricut’s new Iron-On Designs is that you don’t need a Cricut Machine, cutting mat, or Cricut Design Space to use them! The only equipment you need is a Cricut Easy Press or a regular iron and a pair of scissors. – That’s it! 

The Iron On Designs have become my new favorite thing because they are sooooo easy to add, and you can create quick projects in just minutes. The process of applying them is literally cut, press, peel, and then you are done! – You really can’t get much better than that! So, if you are new to Cricut, these Iron-On Designs (and today’s DIY) would be a great starter project for you if you are trying Cricut products for the first time. 

Finally, if all the above is not good enough, these Iron-On Designs can be found on Cricut, Amazon, and Walmart.com! -Whoo Hoo! 

So, now that you are up to speed on all the Cricut Iron-On Designs news, let’s make the cutest baby onesie

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• assorted onesies (I used baby onesies in different colors and patterns, but they were all cotton fabric)
• Cricut Iron-On Designs (see the next section below)
• Cricut EasyPress (aka Cricut Heat Press)
• Cricut EasyPress Mat (how did I live without this?)
• scissors

BABY ONESIE DESIGN OPTIONS:

To make these baby onesies, I used a variety of Iron-On Designs from Cricut. Specifically, I used the following:

• Narwhal
• Twinkle twinkle little star
• Mermaid
• Seahorse
• Bow 
• Hello I’m new here

The only thing to note is that the small designs come with 2-3 designs in a pack. This means the mermaid and seahorse will be together in one pack, while the bow and the ”hello I’m new here” phrase will be in another pack (you can see that in the photo above).  

However, as I mentioned before, there are over 50 designs to choose from, so if none of these designs are your jam, you can still find something for your adorable baby!

HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM ONESIES

1. The first thing we need to do is turn on and set our EasyPress! Click here to see the Cricut Heat Guide where they have the recommended settings for temperature and time.

2. The next step is to remove iron-on designs from the packaging and cut them apart. I cut them with the backing just in case I didn’t use them all, so I could save them for another time.

3. Lay the onesie on the top of your EasyPress Mat and “pre-heat” the onesie. Doing this makes the surface nice and smooth and ready for your iron-on design!

NOTE: Before you start step 3, you may want to run a lint roller over your baby onesies to ensure no fuzz or lint interferes with the iron-on design.

4. Apply the iron-on design to the front of the onesie.

5. Use EasyPress to apply heat to the iron-on design. The instructions on the packaging were for 50 seconds at 350. If you are using the EasyPress Mat, I’d reduce the time to 35-40 seconds. You can always add a little more time if you need it, but 40 seconds was plenty for me!

The instructions also suggest flipping the item over and ironing on the back for a few seconds – I did that too!

6. Wait a minute or two for the iron-on to cool and then remove the liner (aka the plastic backing). If you are used to warm peel (removing the liner right away) like me…then cold peel will freak you out a little bit. 😉 It will be a little stiffer to remove than you are used to, but trust me – it is better to wait for these to cool!

NOTE: The Mat has been a game-changer for me. I was using towels before – but the iron-on goes on SO much more smoothly and evenly now!

Now find a cute baby and get them in some cute custom onesies!

Not only would these custom baby onesies be a great gift idea, but they would also be a fun (and easy and inexpensive) baby shower party activity! 

Imagine creating a onesie station where you have onesies in a variety of colors, along with the Iron-On Designs already pre-cut. Then each guest could pick out a colored onesie and an Iron-On Design to help make a custom onesie for the new mom to be! Think of all the onesies you would end up with! Plus, it would be a great memory. 

Finally, even though we are talking about babies, there are so many project ideas that you could come up with for these Cricut Iron-On Designs! So, forget your Cricut Maker (for now), and grab some Cricut Iron-On Designs to keep in your craft room to create custom gifts and projects in no time.

Enjoy!
