1. How to Make a Cute Custom Baby Onesie
Now that you’ve chosen your iron-on applique, it is easy to use it to decorate clothing. I’ll show you how to applique your baby’s onesie into a cute unicorn onesie everyone would love. This DIY is simple, yet the result is so adorable.
First, you need to gather your materials.
- Cute Unicorn Patch
- Fabric scissors
- Onesie (must be 100% cotton and of any color and size)
- Iron
- Pressing cloth (you can also use a handkerchief or cotton pillowcase)
Instruction
1. Prepare your iron: To properly attach your applique, be sure to turn up your iron to high heat. Make sure that your fabric is a match to the heat.
2. Position your patch: Choose the perfect position for your applique. Try different layouts for you to see which is the better place to attach your applique on.
3. Use a pressing cloth: To protect your onesie’s surface and applique, place a pressing cloth between the iron and the applique. Press the iron downward and hold it in place for 45 seconds. Do not move the iron around because this can shift the position of the applique.
4. Flip and repeat: Once the applique is attached to the onesie, turn it inside out and lay it flat on the ironing board again. Put the pressing cloth over the reverse side of the applique and iron again. Once the applique is securely attached to the onesie, allow it to cool completely.

Tips For Applying Iron-On Appliques:
1. Use cotton fabrics: As much as possible, use 100% cotton fabrics to avoid burning your material. You can use other fabrics like polyester or silk for Iron-on appliques too, but you use the sewing or gluing method.
2. Wash and iron our fabric: Wash your fabric and dry it out without using fabric softener; once your material is dry, press to remove wrinkles.
3. Be careful with your layout and double-check placement: Be sure that your iron-on applique is where you want it to be attached, and double-check if it is centered or aligned correctly.
4. Set the heat in the right Iron settings: Preheat your iron to the setting that matches the cotton fabric. Do not use steam. Work from the right-left and top to bottom in ironing your applique.
5. Use pressing cloth: Use a pressing cloth to protect your applique and fabric. Do not iron your applique directly. Put a pressing cloth between the iron and the applique. You can use a handkerchief or old pillowcase as your pressing cloth.
6. Be careful when laundering: Your iron-on appliques are machine washable. However, it would be best if you should turn your clothes inside out during washing to prevent abrasions from other items in the wash load.
Use iron-on appliques to refashion clothes into something you love. You, too, can make fashionable statements from items already in your closet. So start your DIY now, and you’ll be amazed at how many designs you can create in our collection of iron-on appliques.
