When Creativity Knocks Features “Ombreꞌ Onesies” for Gift-Giving!

Looking for a quick, baby gift with a custom-made touch?  Cindi Bisson and Ana Araujo demonstrate how to dip-dye onesies for a trendy ombreꞌ effect.  Ombreꞌ is a French word meaning “to shade.”  When dip-dyeing, the result is gradual shading from light to dark.

Using Petal Pink for girls and Lemon Yellow for boys, they dip-dyed the onesies by hanging them from a dowel rod and dipping them in a dyebath for different amounts of time.  The darker section at the bottom was in the dye for about 10 minutes, then the middle section about 5 minutes and the top required just a quick dip.  It’s so easy to create a lovely “one-of-a-kind” effect!  After dyeing, the onesies can be embellished with iron-on appliques, buttons and more!
