diy {onesie cupcakes}

There must be something in the water because it seems as though so many people I know are pregnant (I can think of 9 off the top of my head!) I was actually just at a baby shower this past weekend and put together a fun gift (an idea I found here) so if you are looking for something cute and creative to bring to your next baby shower I have just the thing for you, cupcake onesies!
Here's the supplies I used:
4 onesies
4 receiving blankets
4 elastic bands
4 coffee filters
scissors
ribbon
a cupcake bakery box (you can get them at Michael's or Joann's)
 First I folded up the receiving blankets until they were 3 inches wide
Then I laid a onesie over my fist and made an indent in the center
 I took the outsides of the onesie a brought them in, tucking them into the center
 I laid the onesie at the end of one of the blankets and rolled it up
 Then I secured it with a rubber band
 Finally, I placed it in a coffee filter and tied on a ribbon
 Once I made all 4 cupcakes I placed them in the bakery box and tied it with baker's twine. Voila!
Instantly makes a simple package of onesies and blankets look so much cuter right?
Are you excited to go to a baby shower now so you can try it out??

I have two more diy gifts to share from this weekend and these next two can actually be modified to use for any occasion (birthday, mother's day, house warming...) or simply to make something pretty for yourself. :) Stay tuned...

  12. I came across this on Pinterest and love it. Would it work with 6 months onesies as opposed to newborn or 0-3 months?

    1. Yes, this would totally work with 6 month onesies! I can't remember exactly but I believe I used 3 or 6 month size for this particular tutorial.

    2. Thank you! What size coffee filters are those? I used ones that fit our coffee maker and they were too small. I'm not sure if I folded the blankets to thin so when I rolled the roll was too thick. Thanks for any tips!
