Colorful Baby Onesies - Wearable Ink Blot Art

My Ink blot Baby Onesies have been so popular, I decided to put a few more in the shop. Instead of the black designs like I did more recently, I decided to do layered color. Aren't they cheerful?

It's a step-by-step instructional guide comes with a
  • Complete supply list

uniquely designed baby onesies make great gifts


What do you see? →
This one reminds me of Cherries. I like the combination of deep pink and aqua.

What do you see? →
The swirls of this one reminds me of the pumpkin vines as they magically swirled to become Cinderella's carriage. I think the lavender and Indian turquoise compliment each other. Soft and sweet.

What do you see? →
I can't help but immediately see a court jester in this one. Or the face of a clown? Whatever it is, this deep pink and lamp black design makes me think "happy".

What do you see? →
This one is tricky. I see either frogs or colorful caterpillars. The ocean blue and lamp black make a nice combination.

What do you see? →
It's funny how a design can jump right out at you. At first this light and dark purple design reminded me of little purple pansies. But all-at-once I saw the face of a smiling teddy bear. Do you see it too? Now that's all I see when I look at it - no more pansies.

Sorry, these "abstract art" painted Onesies are no longer available. The feedback I've received is that they make really fun and unique baby gifts. 

If you want to try making them yourself, you can grab a copy of our 
step-by-step Ink Blot T-Shirt DIY Guide here and adapt it for the baby onesies. 

They can make you (or someone's baby!) happy too. ♥

Ink Blot T-shirt Party! 50 kids:50 shirts

Want a totally unique party idea? 
Have an ink blot t-shirt making party!

Coolest thing since sliced bread.

I decided to take on a group of 50 kids for some ink-blot t-shirt making madness and it was a smashing success!

What's more rewarding, than making something super cool and being able to show it off ?! The kids were so excited to make them and even more exited to wear them.





Everyone's done tie-dye, but have you tried Ink blot t-shirt design? 
It's the newest, coolest way to design your own t-shirts. And it's easy enough for any age.  Like really easy. Anyone who can drip paint and fold something in half is eligible. See what I mean?

Here's a little demo.
Hard to believe such cool designs come from something so simple.


Okay, back to my crazy ink blot partaay!
We started off with our supplies. 

If you're interested in making it really easy on yourself? 

How we started:
  • White t-shirts
  • Fabric Paint
  • Pre-folded {recyclable} cereal boxes (to use as cardboard inserts)



T-shirts all stuffed and ready to go.



Kids ready to go.


Let the paint squeezing begin!







Then fold


Big reveals

Oooooh.....ahhhhhhh

The kids had lots of fun discussing what they saw in each of the designs.
Robots? Animals? Insects? Space aliens?
You name it. They saw it.


T-shirts laying out to dry. We had quite a line up starting.



And just in case you're a sucker for before and after's like me?
Here you go:





  • Learned new skills
  • Created fun memories
  • Beamed with pride over their newly designed t-shirts they made all themselves
  • An activity well worth doing
Proudly showing off their creations
{Protecting the kiddos privacy by "blotting" out their faces.}
They're smiling. I promise!

Great activity idea for:
Birthday parties, school activities, summer camps, fundraisers, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, family reunions, sweet 16 parties, or just rainy day activities!
