I just had a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Her first baby! I decided to go with a running/work out theme because that is totally the mom – and we have decided this baby is destined to be athletic! I also got a little Puma track suit at Marshalls today and little socks that look like shoes to go along with the bibs. Here’s the “work out” bibs:
And of course I had to make a couple bibs representing the baby-to-be’s favorite aunt and uncle! (Keeping reading – you’ll see them at the end!) I’m so excited to be an aunt
I used my Cricut to cut out the words on freezer paper (shiny side face down). On this one, the bomb was actually a balloon – could you tell?!
Then I put a towel over the paper and bib and ironed it on until it stuck.
I love painting over freezer paper – because you don’t have to be neat! Just try to stay in the square. In this picture I had already removed the “Uncle Kevin” stencil, but you can see how messy the other part looks before I remove the stencil, just wait it will be amazing! Oh, and I used Martha Stewart craft paints mixed with a little fabric medium.
After 24 hours I will iron them again to “set” them and they will be washable (you know, important quality for a bib to have) and wearable!

Which one is your favorite?

My favorite is Uncle Kevin is the bom
Thanks Donna!
I think that was my favorite too, and I’m still quite proud of myself for thinking of using the balloon to create the bomb stencil!
Very cute! What is “fabric medium”?
Hi Pat! Fabric Medium is a liquid that you mix with acrylic paints so that the paint works better on fabric. You can buy it at any of your craft stores, like JoAnn’s or Michael’s and it’s usually right in with the other small acrylic paints. It’s like a milky clear-white color. Hope that helps answer your question!
