Now for my last and finale DIY onesie... a Twinklecraft original....can you tell these dots should be drum rolls?... Mini cupcakes!
I am working out many little characters in a peeking collection. In fact, my very first one was for a onesie. Eventually I hope to learn enough about graphics so that I can sell them and give a few away. This was a good upstart to that process with a few girlie cupcakes. They look especially cute on the small 0-3 months size, don't they?
Transferring Image
You can download the images
here.
After you print the image out, I recommend going over the image again in a black marker like a Sharpie. In a very well lit space, fold the onesie vertically and then horizontally to where you would like the top of the cupcakes to begin. Unfold and dot this spot with a water soluble or air soluble pen. This will be the top of the middle cupcake.
Next, cut out the picture and tuck it under front of the onesie on a very flat sturdy service. Pin in place and trace out images.
Stitches
As you can see, I used a light and dark pink with a minty green, orange, light blue and a brighter blue, and a medium lavender shade with a butter cream yellow. Of course all faces were done in black. To make the wrappers, I used a
stem stitch. A
back stitch was used for the icing and little
French knots were the sprinkles. For most of the faces, I used the back stitch in v shapes but used a
daisy stitch for the circles. If you are afraid you'll make a teardrop instead of a circle, just go very slowly when pulling the thread and then stitch it down when you are happy with your circle. An extra
straight stitch was used for the eye.
If this image is popular, I'll be sure to add other designs to my blog in the future with instructions all for free, so feel free to follow me!
