Crafty, Crafty: Dyed Onesies

So my bestest friend is preggers and is absolutely crazy and insists on not knowing the gender of her baby. Okay, she’s not really crazy, I think it sweet that she waits to see what nature’s miracle will be BUT it does make it ultra tricky for her friend (who wishes to live vicariously through her pregger friend) to spoil her rotten with tons of baby stuff. I’m doing the best I can, but don’t worry I will make up for it once I know the gender, and I don’t think my friend will mind one bit. In an effort to give her something other than white onesies I decided to craft it up a notch.

Enter, dyed onesies!

I got the idea from Make It Cozee

I started with some white onesies I found for a spectacular deal

Then dyed with some Sunshine Orange Rit Dye, following the instructions in the above link.

And ended up with what I think is a beautiful orange color. It is splotchy on some of them, but I think it gives it a little charm and will look great on what will undoubtedly be an ADORABLE baby.

LOVE! I will definitely be doing this again, hopefully she loves them too!
