Happy St. Patrick's Day

I have to post pictures of my adorable baby boy and his festive St. Patrick's day outfit! I made the onsie he is wearing (well... mostly my friend made it.. but I helped a little.. haha). Isn't it cute!?

I think Seth and I are the lucky ones to be his parents! Love this baby boy!

 My friend Desiree helped me to make Jaden's onsie. I've heard of making shirts using freezer paper, but didn't know how to do it and was hesitant to try to do it on my own. Luckily, my friend offered to teach me so we made this cute shirt for Jaden. I love how it turned out and it was pretty easy to do. Basically you cut out the letters on freezer paper using an x-acto knife.

Then iron the freezer paper to the shirt (shiny side down).

Next paint it using fabric paint (or add fabric medium to acrylic paints). Let it dry for a few hours and then peel it off.

I thought it turned out great!! I don't consider myself to be very crafty, but doing this project made me want to do crafts like this more often! It's kinda fun!

Thanks Desiree for your help! Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!
